European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced in May that their goal is for Ukraine to open all accession chapters by 2025, effectively becoming a full EU member as fast as possible. However, the Hungarian government's position is that Ukraine’s EU accession carries serious security and economic risks, especially for the Central European region.
