Ukraine working to prepare for visit of Viktor Orban – Stefanishyna

Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefanishyna said that the meeting in Uzhgorod of head of the presidential office Andriy Yermak, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjártó would be "related to the preparation of a future visit of Prime Minister Orban to Ukraine," Radio Liberty reported on Thursday.

"The last time the Prime Minister was in Ukraine was in 2010 – in a country that we barely remember. It is important for us that he came. Therefore, first of all, the concentration is on the bilateral agenda," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Stefanishyna did not respond to Radio Liberty's request to clarify whether Viktor Orban should come to Kyiv, or Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Budapest. She referred to the fact that the Foreign Minister should be better informed about this nuance, however, she noted that she sees the point in the visit of the Hungarian prime minister: "It is important for me to see Prime Minister Orban in Kyiv, because he plays a difficult role in making historical decisions for Ukraine. And it is important for me that this person sees the country as Ukrainians see it."

Earlier it was reported that on January 29 in Uzhgorod a meeting is planned between Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and head of the presidential office Andriy Ermak with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó.
