A letter allegedly written in Ukrainian was received by the Hungarian Embassy in Ukraine, threatening Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto with death ahead of his upcoming visit to Uzhhorod, according to Hungarian news outlet Index. The letter expressed hatred towards the Hungarian government and questioned the minister’s safety given the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry remains undeterred, stating that the threats will not prevent Szijjarto from representing Hungary’s interests. The ministry emphasized the Hungarian government’s commitment to peace and called for ceasefire and negotiations.
Szijjarto will be meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak in Uzhhorod on January 29. The discussions aim to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries and facilitate a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to promote Ukraine’s interests within the European Union. It is worth noting that Zelenskyy denied discussing a ceasefire or negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Orban confirmed accepting an invitation from the Ukrainian president.
The meeting between the Hungarian and Ukrainian officials builds upon recent political contacts and serves as a platform to address key issues of mutual concern. The article emphasizes the commitment of both sides to finding peaceful solutions and fostering positive diplomatic relations.
