I think it's wrong to conflate the EU's "rule of law" issues with Hungary & Poland with the quite extraordinary situation in Ukraine.

However, what will be interesting will be the progression of Serbia's EU candidacy in the near future. Serbia has flatly refused to apply any sanctions on Russia although U.VdL has requested that Serbia adhere to EU policy. If anybody's looking for a Putin fanboy in Europe, look no further than Aleksandar Vučić.

Meanwhile the leaders of the other landlocked Countries in the EU (Slovakia, Czechia & Austria) must all be quietly grateful to Orbán for his stance on the latest round of sanctions.

Interesting times.
