A large-scale European Union summit is kicking off in Brussels, with an agenda covering key security issues, energy stability, and the long-term community budget. One of the main highlights will be the first-ever personal meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar. The event will be held behind closed doors and could mark a turning point in bilateral relations.
Summit agenda and diplomatic context
The upcoming talks were announced by the Hungarian Prime Minister on Facebook. According to him, the schedule includes strengthening external borders, overcoming the energy crisis, and discussing the EU's seven-year financial framework.
Controversial data
Despite preparations for historical talks, experts note persisting systemic contradictions between Kyiv and Budapest. Although Hungary might unblock EU integration over minority rights, Budapest maintains its firm stance against supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Dialogue perspectives
The face-to-face meeting is expected to ease tensions. Deputy Prime Minister Bálint Raff will coordinate government operations while Magyar is away.
