Orbán Rattles EU by Embracing Putin and Criticizing Bloc While Blocking Ukraine Aid

Viktor Orbán trolled the West by shaking Putin's hand and comparing the EU to the Soviet Union.

Orbán is blocking aid for Ukraine, alarming Eastern European countries who worry he shares sensitive NATO info with Russia.

Slovakia's new leader Robert Fico also taunts Brussels but has little influence compared to Orbán.

The EU plans to unfreeze billions in funds for Hungary in exchange for reforms, shrugging off Orbán's antics.

Western diplomats downplay Hungary as a security risk and say Orbán usually falls in line on big EU decisions.
