EU would plunge deep into Russia’s sphere of influence—and not let PM Orbán stand in the way

The European Union appears intent on strutting onto the global stage as a superpower, extending its sway and absorbing even a nation that languished under another great power’s thumb just two decades ago. President Putin views Ukraine as his personal fiefdom, yet by accelerating its accession, the EU seems poised to seize the initiative. A firm plan is already taking shape in Brussels.

EU thrusts deep into Russia’s eastern domain

For over a decade, Ukraine has waged a literal life-or-death struggle to escape the Russian-dominated world and cleave to the West, above all the European Union. We have witnessed the Westernisation of Ukrainian identity—and its forging as a nation amid the inferno of Russian assaults.

The much-maligned European Union, whose member states are now even mocked by the US President, appears ready to act decisively on Ukraine’s integration. The task is formidable: ushering a vast, war-torn country—economically and socially backward—into a club where nations like Albania and Serbia queue patiently. Accession has proved arduous even for most post-1990 entrants.

Five-point plan for Ukraine’s integration

Politico, a Brussels-centred media outlet, detailed the scheme on Tuesday, drawing on unnamed EU and Ukrainian officials, plus diplomats from member states. The aim: prevent Ukraine from abandoning its long, and inevitably contentious, path to membership.

President Zelensky insists the key reforms could be wrapped up by 2027, rendering his country technically ready to join. “The goal is not to lower the bar,” one EU official stressed, but to accommodate nations stalled by war or member-state obstruction.

EU sends potent signal to other aspirants

Commission President von der Leyen has floated a “reverse accession”: membership with limited rights until criteria are met. EU leaders see this as a robust message to the likes of Moldova, Ukraine, and Albania. The Albanians, for instance, have already agreed to forgo an EU commissioner for now (each member supplies one to the college).

Supporters include France, Italy, and Poland. Germany demurs, doubting whether conditions could be enforced post-accession.

Orbán is the obstacle, but Brussels sees at least three ways to neutralise him

Politico identifies Hungary’s Viktor Orbán as the thorniest hurdle, with Brussels awaiting the outcome of Hungary’s elections. Polls suggest a strong chance for the Tisza party to oust Orbán after 16 years in power. EU sources tell Politico that Orbán’s stance is immutable: he deems Ukraine an enemy, views accession as a sovereignty issue, and harbours personal animus towards President Zelensky.

  1. On the surface it would seem possible to integrate The Ukraine into the EU, as not only is it already owned, run, and paid for by The West, under the current puppet government – it having been installed in the 2014 MI6-CIA-Mossad coup against the Ukraine’s legitimate president, Viktor Yanukovich, Russia has only objected to The Ukraine being in NATO … NOT the EU.

    That said, the reailty is starkly different.

    Why?

    Because there is no sign that The West is ever going to behave decently towards Russia, and, that so, I see no signs that Russia is ever going to accept this, most especially not on their borders.

    No … in order for the Ukraine to continue on as some part of The West, The West will have to find millions of men willing to soldier and die for this, not to mention all the money and arnaments.

    I do not see this as anything realistic.

    Therefore, the Ukraine will, either in 2026 or 2031, lapse back into being a part of what is has been for 1,000 years – Russia.

    Do not like this reality? : go soldier in The Ukraine against Russia.

    It will not work out as you wish, however, because, one day, you will die, and no one will take your place.

    The Ukraine is Russia, just as the ccean is water.

  2. Should Fidesz win the election the EU will put the screws to Orban’s head until that pustule pops. It will be hardship for Hungary as if Hungary has not had enough hardship already under Fidesz. What is quite enjoyable to see is these traitorous rats who sold Hungary to Putin now being cornered. Putin in turn is getting squeezed day by day as his oil profits are drying up, the country’s savings are spent, and the population is literally dying out on the battlefield in Ukraine as he throws infantry into the meat grinder in desperation achieving precious little. He is failing and so is his Hungarian c-sucker Orban.

    • Larry, I think you misunderstand something about human nature.
      Humans, most of us at least, are not prioritizing comfort, over our survival. You might, but my people don’t.

      What can the EU do that they didn’t try already? Steal more of our money? Sure they could. But less money doesn’t mean we die. We have a food surplus. With which we could buy Russian gas. And the EU can do nothing about it.

      Giving up ourselves means our culture dies, and we as a people go extinct.
      So we don’t. We rather fight. And fight well.
      And we’ll be the last one standing, as always.

      If you don’t believe me, ask the Ottomans, the USSR or the Habsbourgs, they experienced this first hand. Oh wait, you can’t. Their empire is no longer around. 😉

      • Hungary under Fidesz is a PARASITE attached to the EU. It takes but does not give. The EU has given Hungary billions of euros of which a large part went into the pockets of the oligarchs. Ordinary Hungarians are left holding the bag. Don’t talk rubbish about “Hungary’s money” when Hungary always has been a net taker. Hungary under Fidesz does not deserve a filler because it has being doing great harm to the rest of Europe by acting as Putin’s proxy undermining everyone else. Why on earth for example did they have to oppose Sweden and Finland’s accession to NATO for so long being the very last to sign. It’s because Fidesz is a government of A-Holes.

        • ‘Hungary under Fidesz is a PARASITE attached to the EU.’

          The EU, My Dear Larry, is a parasite attached to the European Peoples – a parasite the likes of which history has never seen.

  3. Yes, yes yes, Ursula wants to provoke a Russian war, because otherwise, she can’t pull a Palpatine. You cant become legally a dictator without such “crisis”, so you need to generate one. What better way then to continue to provoke Russia?
    We all know it.
    We all saw the Star Wars.

    And I am not troubled, because I know Ursula is too retarded to pull it off. She will just collapse the EU.

    • Yes, Dear Márk, Madame Van der Leyen would surely plunge the world into war, if she had the switch.

      People carry on about how scary Hitler and Stalin were?

      Just look at Ursula – profiting off untold millions of scandemic and vaccine deaths, arranging for the deaths of millions of Slavs, all the while claiming to liberate them, and she does it all with a smile.

      She very obviously is an extremely nice and charming couth lady, in person, but, her consciousness and her conscience are vast vortexes – a Black Hole of anti-matter where a human Christian heart ought be.

  4. Hungary is at a critical crossroads. Hungarians must reject Peter Magyar if the country has a chance to avoid the EU disastrous policies that have played out all over Europe. Some Hungarians may have issues with Orban, but please don’t lose sight of the bigger picture: Independence, strong alliances with free countries and sovereignty for today and for future generations!! ❤️🤍💚

    • Yes, Dear Csilla – you are absolutely right.

      The big picture – Hungary must survive, which it will with Orbán, and it won’t with Magyar.

      When another decade goes by, Germany, France, and England, not to mention quite a few other countries, will still be attempting to get out of the problems that they brought upon themselves, in this period, while Hungary will not have to deal with that, and can focus on recovering from the difficulties incurred from the era of 1914-1945.

      Thank you for being so strong and for having common sense.

      Common sense is not common in this era.
