Hungary calls for Ukraine's accelerated accession to the EU
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó called for Ukraine's accelerated accession to the European Union.
444.hu reported this citing a video address by the Minister.
Yesterday, the presidents of eight EU member states, the Baltic states, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Slovenia, launched a joint initiative to promote Ukraine's European integration in order to give Ukraine a candidate status and start accession talks as soon as possible. I would like to announce that Hungary supports this initiative and we call on Brussels to put the issue on the agenda," said Péter Szijjártó.
He also said that Hungary supported any initiatives aimed at ending the war.
"The sooner there is peace, the fewer people will die and the less they will be forced to flee their homes," said the Hungarian Foreign Minister.
It should be noted that since 2017, Budapest's policy that Hungary will not support decisions leading to Ukraine's accession to the EU has been in force and formally remains in force.
