European leaders concluded two days of back-to-back summits in Copenhagen that were marked by the obstructions of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, whose vetoes have hindered collective support for Ukraine and challenged unity at a precarious time when Russia ramps up its bombardment and the United States steps away.
Despite pleas from other heads of state and government, Orbán flat-out refused to lift his veto on Ukraine's membership bid to join the European Union, which has also prevented Moldova from advancing in the negotiations.
