Prime Minister Peter Magyar held a brief discussion with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, and they agreed to hold a bilateral meeting in the near future, Magyar told reporters on Wednesday morning upon arriving at the NATO summit in Ankara.
Hungary will not send weapons, troops or any form of military aid to Ukraine, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said in a video message on Facebook.
Prime Minister Peter Magyar has called on the Public Prosecutor's Office to respond "immediately" whether they have interviewed former Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Janos Hajdu, the former head of counter-terrorism force TEK, as suspects in the so-called "gold convoy" case involving the way the authorities under the previous government stopped the transport of money and gold assets to Ukraine.
The embassies of 36 countries and eight foreign cultural institutes in Hungary issued a joint statement on Monday ahead of the 31st Budapest Pride parade, which is being held on Saturday, welcoming the new government's position that "Hungary is a home for all Hungarians, and everyone should feel they have a place in the nation."
