Tensions between Hungary and the European Union - TVP World News



Our main stories:

Next month, European ministers will meet in Brussels to discuss activating a clause in the EU treaty against Hungary. This clause deals with serious or ongoing violations of the EU's core values. The discussion is prompted after Budapest's recent ban on LGBTQ+ events and its continued blocking of military support for Ukraine.

The Latvian parliament has approved the country’s withdrawal from the Ottawa Convention, effectively lifting the country’s ban on the use of anti-personnel mines.

Another devastating Russian missile attack has hit the Ukrainian frontline city of Kherson, according to reports from local military administration on Wednesday. One person was killed and six others were wounded.
