The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry responded positively to the decision of Polish President Karol Nawrocki not to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The reason was Orbán’s visit to Moscow and his talks with Putin.

As ThePublic.info reports, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha publicly supported the decision of Polish President Karol Nawrocki not to hold a planned meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The Ukrainian minister announced this on social media platform X.

It became known that Marcin Przydacz, head of the Bureau of International Policy of the Polish president’s office, stated that the meeting was cancelled due to Orbán’s visit to Moscow, where he held talks with Vladimir Putin.

Sybiha described the decision as “a truly good one”, emphasizing that it reflects Poland’s firm stance and strong sense of solidarity. According to him, this step by Warsaw reaffirms its commitment to European unity and security at a crucial time.

Context

On Wednesday, December 3, Karol Nawrocki is scheduled to travel to Hungary to take part in the Visegrad Group leaders’ summit. It was initially planned that the following day, the Polish president, together with his wife, would make an official visit to Budapest and meet, among others, with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. However, this visit has been cancelled.

Earlier, Viktor Orbán met with Putin in Moscow. During the talks, he called for a quick end to the war in Ukraine and expressed hope for stable supplies of oil and gas.

Orbán also stated that Ukraine’s “buffer status” could ensure peace in the post-war period.
