Hungary Defies EU, Continues Asylum for Ukrainian Military-Age Men

Hungary, led by PM Peter Magyar, will continue granting asylum to Ukrainian men aged 25-60, directly contradicting an EU-wide agreement from July that such individuals should be ineligible for refugee status. This unilateral stance signals a deepening rift between Budapest and Brussels over Ukraine policy, potentially undermining EU cohesion on migration and military mobilization. The move may strain EU-Hungary relations further and complicate bloc-wide efforts to support Ukraine's manpower needs.
