Ukraine's EU accession negotiation clusters
Hungary and Bulgaria are pressing to water down EU summit language on Ukraine's accession. Hungary's PM Magyar and Zelensky held first one-on-one talks in Brussels; Magyar says there is no entry date and talks could take 15-20 years. The EU launched a rule-of-law task force for Ukraine and Zelensky urged leaders not to split Moldova's bid from Ukraine's.
