What is known about the preparation of the document between Ukraine and Hungary
As President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said during a meeting with heads of communities and districts of Transcarpathia, a bilateral document between Ukraine and Hungary is currently being prepared.
It is aimed at overcoming misunderstandings and solving modern and historical challenges so that the issue of national minorities does not create tension between our countries. We are ready for a positive dialogue, Volodymyr Zelenskyi noted
The president added that the document will also include security aspects.
Our minimum demand for Hungary is not to block Ukraine's invitation to NATO. It is not necessary to support, but at least not to hinder," Zelensky emphasized.
We will remind you that the European Commission has confirmed that Ukraine has fulfilled the requirements of 2022, in particular regarding the Hungarian minority.
Orban continues to wage a "cold war" with the European Union
The Hungarian leader cynically began to compare the European Union with the communist regime that Hungarians fought in 1956.
Moreover, the odious politician lied that the bloc's pressure on Budapest is constantly increasing.
According to Viktor Orbán, the key lesson of the 1956 year for his people is that "we should fight for only one thing - for Hungary and Hungarian freedom."
The Prime Minister of Hungary also stated that the independent policy of his country is allegedly unacceptable to Brussels.
Also, Viktor Orban recently stated that he does not support Ukraine's victory plan, and once again offered to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia. Orban also stated that he was "frightened" by Ukraine's victory plan, and called on the Chancellor of Germany and the President of France on behalf of the entire European Union to "start negotiations with the Russians as soon as possible."
