Ungaria refuză propunerea ucraineană de participare la noul format de cooperare regională Iniţiativa pentru integrare carpatică „C8”

Hungary has decided not to join the new regional cooperation format called the Carpathian Integration Initiative "C8", initiated by Ukraine. The Hungarian Foreign Ministry stated that it is not a member of this initiative but is closely monitoring its implementation. Despite being part of the EU and NATO, Hungary has strengthened ties with Russia since the invasion of Ukraine. Following recent elections, a pro-European majority has taken over, leading to improved relations with Ukraine. However, Hungary has blocked further discussions regarding Ukraine's EU accession, citing non-implementation of agreements.
