Hungary's Orban in Ukraine for talks with Zelenskyy
SUMMARY
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán traveled to Kyiv for his first visit to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion. He met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and called the war Europe's "most important issue," advocating for an immediate ceasefire. Despite Hungary's frequent opposition to EU measures supporting Ukraine, Orbán expressed a desire to improve bilateral relations. Zelenskyy acknowledged Hungary's humanitarian aid and discussed Hungary's potential role in organizing a second peace summit. Orbán's visit coincided with Hungary assuming the EU's rotating presidency, where he pledged to act as an "honest broker".
