Ukrainian and Hungarian officials say Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar in Brussels in mid-October, marking a first official bilateral step. Ukrainian sources report Magyar plans a brief one-on-one encounter with Zelenskyy ahead of an EU summit, and that Zelenskyy has an invitation to Budapest on 23 October. Separately, it is reported the meeting in Brussels is set for Friday 16 October.
The outlets present the planned contacts as part of a broader diplomatic reset between the two countries. Magyar is described as expressing a desire for a “new chapter” in relations, while additional discussion includes hopes for a later meeting in Berehove. Euronews frames the Budapest visit as an expected follow-up after the Brussels meeting, with both sides working toward more formal engagement.
