Orbán was stalling for time, now Kyiv hopes that Péter Magyar is genuinely seeking an agreement

Ukraine has not yet responded to Péter Magyar's proposal for a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, but shows willingness to engage with Hungary's new government. Relations have deteriorated under the Fidesz government, particularly over language rights for the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia. Despite some positive signals from Ukraine, the relationship remains tense due to past disputes and Orbán's controversial stance. The Hungarian government has made demands based on a repealed language law, but progress is hindered by a lack of genuine dialogue and willingness from both sides.
