Hungarian foreign minister announces meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart in Budapest
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has said he will hold talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha in Budapest in the coming days.

Details: Szijjártó reported that the meeting with Ukraine’s foreign minister will take place "this week" in Budapest, where the parties will discuss Hungarian-Ukrainian relations.
Quote: "We believe in dialogue and are always ready for talks. But the ball is on Ukraine’s side: real progress is only possible if rights taken from Hungarians in Transcarpathia are fully restored."
Background:
- The announcement of the Szijjártó-Sybiha meeting came shortly after Ukraine’s foreign minister urged his Hungarian counterpart to talk in person rather than argue on social media.
- In recent days, the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Hungary have exchanged sharp remarks over the attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline and Kyiv’s EU membership prospects.
