- The government, which has been in office since May, published a document signed by Prime Minister Peter Magyar in Hungary’s official gazette overnight.
- The guidelines for the September UN General Assembly condemn Russia’s military aggression, reaffirm Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and recognize its right to self-defense.
- The statement marks a break with Viktor Orbán’s Moscow-friendly foreign policy, which diluted or obstructed EU sanctions against Russia and ran campaigns against Ukraine.
- In June, Magyar’s civil government enabled the start of EU accession talks with Kyiv, but it continues to reject its own arms deliveries to Ukraine and an accelerated path to EU membership.
