The Ukrainian president noted the personal participation of the Hungarian counterpart in the summit of the Crimean platform and also thanked her for Budapest's support of Kyiv in the confrontation with Russia.

Quote: "The Head of State particularly noted Hungary's assistance in the treatment of wounded Ukrainian servicemen and training of military medics," the message reads.

The Hungarian side has not yet published information about the meeting between Novak and Zelenskyi. This is the first interaction between the two officials since at least the autumn of 2022, when Katalin Novak visited Kyiv to participate in a food summit. Background: Relations between Ukraine and Hungary have been strained in recent months due to the scandalous statements of the Hungarian leadership about Ukraine as well as Budapest's inhibition of EU sanctions.

Katalin Novak arrived in Ukraine on 22 August, on the eve of the third International Summit of the Crimean Platform, starting her visit in Zakarpattia. During the summit, the President of Hungary stated that she recognised the fair position of Ukraine and that the war unleashed by Russia would finally end only with the regaining of Crimea.
