(Reuters) - The United States is "disappointed" by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Ukraine policy, and looks forward to Budapest fulfilling its promise not to be the last to ratify Sweden's NATO accession, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Thursday.
"I think we're disappointed that ... Prime Minister Orban has chosen to stand alone in the European Union in questioning the fight to support Ukrainians," Jim O'Brien, the U.S. State Department's Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, told a Zoom briefing.
