Kuleba thinks Hungary will return to 'loud' support for Ukraine's membership in NATO

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said he is convinced that Hungary will return to "loud" support for Ukraine's membership in NATO after controversial issues in bilateral relations are resolved.

He stated this at the online forum "Re:Open Zakarpattia" on Friday, November 5, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

Commenting on the fact that Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto did not mention Ukraine in the context of NATO's open-door policy in his speech at the Warsaw Security Forum, Kuleba said that "it was a diplomatic pin."

At the same time, he said that given the history of bilateral relations, it is in Hungary's interest to see Ukraine as a member of NATO. He also noted that Hungary "at all levels, in all possible formats" supported Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration.

"The dispute in our relations, first because of misunderstandings about Ukrainian educational legislation and now because of Hungary's decisions in the energy sector, stimulates some verbal correction of the signals that are being sent. But I have no doubt that after we overcome the misunderstandings we have with Hungary, it will return to loud support for Ukraine's membership in NATO," Kuleba said.
