Hungarian PM Péter Magyar says Zelenskyy unlikely to visit Budapest later this month
Zelenskyy's deputy chief of staff told Euronews earlier this week that the Ukrainian leader had been invited to Budapest on 23 October, to join events commemorating the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar has stated that he does not anticipate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visiting Budapest later this month. This invitation was initially extended to Kyiv for the 23rd October events commemorating the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. However, in an interview with 444.hu, Magyar expressed doubts about Zelenskyy's attendance, even though Russian President Vladimir Putin was not invited.
The Hungarian leader mentioned that he would either travel to Kyiv and then head to Beregszász with Zelenskyy, or Zelenskyy would come to Budapest and proceed to Beregszász. Magyar reiterated his full solidarity with Ukraine following their recent EU summit in Brussels, where both leaders agreed to continue ministerial-level talks.
The focus of these discussions will be on improving the situation of minorities in both countries and building a new foundation for political and economic relations between the nations.
