Hungary and Ukraine dispute over the inclusion of Hungary in a new regional forum launched by President Volodymyr Zelensky. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha criticizes Hungary’s stance, saying Hungary is echoing what he describes as the obstructionism and isolationism associated with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The disagreement follows comments from Hungary’s side criticizing Kyiv for including Hungary in the “Carpathian Eight” forum without prior consent. The clash reflects broader tensions between the two governments, with Ukraine framing the criticism as interference with its regional initiatives, while Hungary argues it was not consulted about its participation.
