"Both sides have made it absolutely clear that there is an interest in holding a meeting at the level of the Prime Minister of Hungary and the President of Ukraine. And I think that today we have made a very powerful step towards this meeting," he said.

"Of course, we are interested in this meeting being successful and really opening a new page in our relations," said the head of the President's Office.

Answering the question, he noted that "we did not talk about a specific date today, but we expressed the interest of both sides that such a meeting takes place as soon as possible."
