Quick Glance: EU budget: How Hungary might avoid sanctions
  • The EU Commission is proposing to block billions of euros in payments to Budapest while also providing Viktor Orbán a path to avoid this.

  • Then, on September 13, a letter was received in Brussels in which Budapest formalized its reform pledges.

  • This is also likely to focus attention in Budapest.

  • Green MEP Daniel Freund described it as "fatal that Viktor Orbán can still avert these sanctions before the end of the year with a few sham reforms."

Quick Glance: The United States is providing powerful rocket systems to Ukraine to combat Russia. Here's why it's important.
  • According to Phil Wasielewski, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, the devices will boost Ukrainian forces in the Donbas, where the fight has "turned into an artillery duel."

  • He claimed that it was not too late for the weaponry to assist Ukrainian forces in defending locations and halting future Russian advances in the Donbas.

  • There is one adult for every 10 children, so in Budapest, there could be around 3300 adults.
