Magyar’s position on relations with Ukraine
The Tisza leader stressed that direct dialogue between Ukraine and Hungary is necessary, and that contacts at the highest level are only a matter of time. According to him, such a meeting could take place either in a bilateral format or within European institutions.
"We will definitely meet, if nowhere else, then at the European Council," Magyar said.
He stressed that he supports restoring active political dialogue between Budapest and Kyiv. He effectively outlined a course toward changing the approaches of the previous Hungarian government in relations with Ukraine.
Magyar also noted that, as neighboring countries, Ukraine and Hungary face shared security and political challenges that require constant communication at the level of state leaders.
- Earlier, Magyar said he would not call Putin first. But if Putin calls him, he would urge him to stop the war against Ukraine.
- In response, the Kremlin said that no contacts with Magyar are currently planned.
