Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto arrived in Ukraine on January 29 for talks with senior officials from the host country, weeks after Budapest protested against the European Union (EU) providing a 50 billion euro (54 billion USD) aid package to Kiev.

Reuters reported that the visit took place a few days before the European Union (EU) Summit, scheduled to be held on February 1, to reach consensus on a financial support package that has been delayed due to Hungary's objections.
Talks between Foreign Minister Szijjarto with his counterpart Dmytro Kuleba and Head of the Presidential Administration Andriy Yermak of Ukraine in the city of Uzhhorod.
On the Telegram messaging app, the Office of the President of Ukraine posted a photo of Mr. Szijjarto, Mr. Kuleba and Mr. Yermak with the caption: "A frank and constructive dialogue will improve relations between countries."
Ukraine expressed hope that the 27 EU member states will agree at a summit in Brussels on a four-year aid package that Kiev plans to use to plug this year's budget deficit, as the Eastern European country remains mired in conflict with Russia.
Meanwhile, Hungary was the only EU member state that did not support the aid package at the December 2023 Summit.
