Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was also invited to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, Nebszava wrote.
The series of events related to the anniversary will take place in Kiev on August 23-24. And the Ukrainian embassy in Budapest announced that, in addition to the prime minister and his wife, President Janus Ader and his wife were invited to the event.
The series of events scheduled for 23-24 August in Kiev will not be a standard protocol event.
What makes the event interesting is that it will be the first anniversary since 2014 of the Russian occupation of Crimea and eastern Ukraine. Therefore, Ukrainian President Vologemir Zelensky will organize a summit called “The Crimean Platform”, in which I would like to emphasize that the international community still does not recognize the legitimacy of annexing the peninsula.
who is this In light of this, an interesting question is whether Viktor Orban and Janus Ader would accept the invitation, given the fact that Hungary also has close ties with Russia. By the way, Vetor Urban has spoken several times before about the fact that he wants to meet the President of Ukraine due to the status of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia.
So far, neither the office of the president of the republic nor the chief press officer of the prime minister, Bertalan Havassi, has informed Nebsava whether Orban and Adair will participate in the event. In connection with himself, Peter Ongar, LMP Representative A. To the Hungarian government Submit a written question.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and Charles Michel, President of the European Council, were also invited to attend the summit. Referring to the “intense program” of Von der Leyen, he turned down the invitation, which seems surprising especially in light of the late summer time, while Charles Michel replied that he would cut short his freedom to travel to attend the event.
