Meeting of Szijjarto and Kuleba

Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba will meet with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto in Uzhhorod on January 29. The likelihood of the meeting was first announced by the head of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Szijjarto also reported that he had previously had a phone conversation with the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, during which, according to the Hungarian prime minister, he said that a meeting between Zelenskyy and Orban would make sense "if it can yield results."

It is worth noting that Zelenskyy has already met with Orban on the sidelines of the inauguration of the President of Argentina. At that time, according to the Ukrainian president, they managed to have "a candid and clear discussion about our European matters."
