Ukraine receives signal from Hungary regarding 'window of opportunities' at EU Summit

Ukraine has received the first non-public and unofficial signal from Hungary, which indicates a "window of opportunities" for our country at the EU summit to be held on December 14-15, according to Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Report informs via RBC-Ukraine.

He says there is not a single country that does not want to see Ukraine become part of the European Union. There is only Hungary, which wants a slower process to carefully study the consequences of accession.

"But yesterday, as a result of my long conversation with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, the threat that Hungary is in principle against Ukraine's membership in the EU has been completely removed. He confirmed that this is not the issue at all," Kuleba says.

The Foreign Minister notes that he could not be frank and straightforward on this issue because "the stakes are extremely high."

"But today we have received the first non-public and unofficial signal from Hungary, which indicates a window of opportunity. That's how I'll put it," the Minister adds.

In addition, Kuleba emphasizes the positive official signal from the Slovak government to support the opening of negotiations with Ukraine on EU membership.
