After nearly 12 hours of discussions, EU ambassadors in Brussels witnessed a breakthrough as Hungary lifted its veto on Ukraine's EU accession, a significant change following the recent elections in Hungary. Cyprus, holding the EU Council presidency, facilitated the negotiations, which had been stalled for two years. The lifting of the veto allows for the opening of the first cluster of EU accession negotiations, covering crucial areas like the rule of law and human rights. The agreement also includes provisions for the Hungarian minority in Ukraine, marking a pivotal moment in Ukraine-Hungary relations.
