The uncoordinated Moscow trip of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is the topic of discussion at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels. There is expected to be sharp criticism from other member countries.
The EU is divided over the possible boycott of an informal foreign ministerial meeting in Budapest at the end of August. Germany and others are in favor of participating to show opposition to Orban.
The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, has suggested relocating the meeting to Brussels. The meeting in Brussels will also address military aid for Ukraine in the Russian war of aggression.
Orban, who traveled to Moscow to meet with President Vladimir Putin in early July, continues to block around €6.5 billion, according to diplomats. Borrell will also discuss the Gaza conflict and a planned Association Council with Israel.
