More than 100 politicians have been invited to state ceremonies on 23 October to mark the seventieth anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
However, in an interview with 444.hu printed on Saturday, Magyar stated he thought Zelenskyy’s attendance was unlikely, although Russian President Vladimir Putin had not been invited.
It comes after Magyar and Zelenskyy stated on the EU summit in Brussels on Friday that they might meet once more later this 12 months.
“Either I’ll journey to Kyiv and from there we are going to go collectively to Beregszász, or the president will come to Budapest and from there we are going to go to Beregszász,” Magyar stated.
In publish on X following their Brussels assembly, the Hungarian PM stated he had expressed his “full solidarity” with Ukraine because it continues to battle Russia’s ongoing invasion.
He added that the pair had agreed to “proceed talks at ministerial degree, with a particular deal with bettering the scenario of minorities in each international locations” and that they believed it was “in each international locations’ pursuits to construct a brand new basis for our political and financial relations.”
Zelenskyy’s deputy chief of workers had informed Euronews earlier this week that the Ukrainian chief had been invited to Budapest for the 23 October commemorations amid efforts to reset relations between Kyiv and Budapest after years of diplomatic disputes which have repeatedly obstructed Ukraine’s path in direction of EU membership.
“We have acquired an invite. On 23 October, an occasion will likely be held to mark the seventieth anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution,” Zhovkva stated. “The President of Ukraine has acquired an invite to attend. We shall see.”
