Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced in a Facebook video on Monday that he has instructed Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó to summon Ukraine's ambassador to Hungary.
Magyar is the most visible new face on Hungary’s political stage — a former Fidesz insider who turned into a high-profile opposition leader almost overnight. He now accuses the government of nepotism, misusing EU funds, and using state media for propaganda, advocating for policies to combat corruption and restore democratic institutions.
The responsibility for deteriorating Hungary-Ukraine relations clearly lies with Kyiv, but the Hungarian government continues to support dialogue, Peter Szijjarto, the foreign minister, said on Monday, noting that Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha is scheduled to visit Hungary this week.
Átlátszó’s sources close to the new German government indicate that Berlin is setting aside its economic interests and pushing for tough measures against the Hungarian government, as it views Viktor Orbán’s anti-Ukrainian policy as a threat to security.
