Peter Magyar's rise to power in Hungary may signal a shift in relations with Ukraine

rbc.ua (Russian)

Peter Magyar will become Hungary's new Prime Minister on May 9, replacing Viktor Orbán. This change offers Ukraine hope for improved relations and less obstruction from Budapest. Magyar's victory is seen as a relief in Ukraine, as Orbán had positioned Ukraine as an enemy. Hungary has already unblocked an EU loan for Ukraine and ensured the resumption of oil flow. However, Magyar has adopted rhetoric similar to Orbán's regarding the rights of Hungarians in Ukraine, raising concerns about potential future roadblocks in Ukraine's EU accession process.
