Magyar says he will begin talks with Zelenskyy in June

Leader of Hungary’s election-winning Tisza party, Péter Magyar, has said he will begin negotiations in June with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

His remarks were reported by Interfax.

Magyar noted that he had met with the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Berehove, Zoltán Babják, who informed him about the situation of ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia. The politicians agreed on the need to place Hungary–Ukraine relations on a new footing.

“Given the above, I will initiate a meeting in early June with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, symbolically in the city of Berehove, where a Hungarian majority resides,” the future Hungarian prime minister stressed.
