Hungary and Ukraine Reach Agreement on Ethnic Hungarian Minority Rights

Hungary and Ukraine have reached a deal on the rights of Ukraine's ethnic Hungarian minority, resolving a key dispute that had strained relations and threatened to block Ukraine's EU accession bid. Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced the agreement, which promises improved educational, linguistic, cultural, and political rights for over 100,000 ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine's Transcarpathia region. This breakthrough is expected to allow the EU to advance Ukraine's membership negotiations.
