HUNGARY will face punishment by the European Union for attempting a “peace mission” to Moscow and Beijing earlier this month, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has warned.
He said Hungary would not be allowed to host a strategic meeting next month because of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s visits to Russia and China, which aimed to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.
The EU said it regarded the missions as undermining its support for Ukraine.
