Hungary’s new government has formally stated that Russia’s behaviour poses a “threat to Hungary, Europe and the global order”, signalling a significant shift in Budapest’s foreign policy under Prime Minister Péter Magyar.
Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony marked the August 20 national holiday on Thursday by wishing Hungary a "happy rebirthday" and highlighted the need to strengthen the resilience of Hungary and Budapest.
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.
