Ukraine has received the first non-public and unofficial signal from Hungary, which indicates a "window of opportunity" for our country at the EU summit to be held on December 14-15. This was announced by Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba during a telethon.
According to him, there is not a single country that does not want to see Ukraine as 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 Szijarto, 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 said.
The Foreign Minister noted that he could not be frank and straightforward on this issue because "the stakes are very high."
"But today we received the first non-public and unofficial signal from Hungary, which indicates a "window of opportunity". That's how I'll tell you," the minister added.
In addition, Kuleba emphasized the positive official signal from the Slovak government to support the opening of negotiations with Ukraine on EU membership.
