Péter Magyar links Ukraine’s EU accession to rights of Hungarian minority in Ukraine at Brussels talks

Péter Magyar, during a meeting with the President of the European Council, stated that Hungary would only support Ukraine's EU accession if more rights are granted to the Hungarian minority in Ukraine. He plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss improving the situation for Hungarians in Transcarpathia. Magyar emphasized the need for Ukraine to lift legal restrictions affecting this minority, which could enhance bilateral relations. His stance may disappoint officials in Kyiv and Brussels who anticipated a shift in Hungary's position following Viktor Orbán's departure.
