"Ukraine has begun the compulsory evacuation of children from the city of Sloviansk, in a sign the security situation is deteriorating in one of the country's main remaining strongholds in the Donbas area."
"Russia sees control of the entire Donbas, known for its coalmines and heavy industry, as its key military goal. Ukraine still controls just under a quarter of the Donetsk region."
"Zelenskyy said he had discussed the matter with the EU leaders and trusted they would find a solution. However, Orban has raised the prospect of further actions his government could take against Ukraine."
"40% of Ukraine's electricity supply goes through Hungary; we haven't touched that yet. [The EU] constantly wants to introduce new sanctions [against Russia]. That will require unanimity, and we will not give it."
Ukraine has initiated the compulsory evacuation of children from Sloviansk due to the deteriorating security situation as Russian forces advance. Sloviansk is a key stronghold in the Donbas region, with Russian troops approximately 20km from the city. Ukraine controls just under a quarter of the Donetsk region. Despite challenges, Ukraine expects a significant loan from the EU, although Hungary's veto complicates matters. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has indicated potential further actions against Ukraine, raising tensions between the two nations.
