On 29 November, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that Ukraine presented and agreed with allies a program for meeting NATO standards, a European Pravda correspondent reported from Brussels.
The program focuses entirely on security and defense reforms. Unlike previous iterations, it does not include any political or minority rights reforms that Hungary has previously demanded from Ukraine.
Ukraine convinced NATO allies that political and judicial reforms should fall under EU supervision, not NATO, since the requirements are similar anyway.
This means Hungary lost its leverage within NATO to make demands on issues like minority rights.
