Ukraine moves forward in EU membership talks after Hungary drops objections
Reuters and the Straits Times reported that Ukraine took a step forward in EU membership talks after Hungary dropped its objections, and FinancialJuice relayed the same from Ireland's minister for European affairs. The same evening Zelenskyy said a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeted the CHPP-4 heat and power plant; Reuters reported two dead and Bloomberg said a key power plant was hit.
Hungary's objection had held back progress; lifting it moves Ukraine closer to membership while the war continues.
No direct effect on Kenya, but the war keeps energy and grain prices high worldwide.
A procedural step, not membership; the date still depends on all member states.
