President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has made a long telephone conversation with Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who previously expressed critical comments on Ukraine. During this conversation, the head of the Ukrainian state invited the Hungarian colleague to the future Summit, planned in Switzerland.
Maxim Jigun, a representative of the Good Politics communication agency, explained the importance of maintaining ties with Hungary for Ukraine. Despite a tense relationship, this country is key in the context of European and Atlantic integration.
"Remove from the countries with a negative attitude to us is not rational. We must work with problem countries, because without their support, our integration into the EU or NATO will be complicated," Jigun said.
A telephone conversation between Zelensky and Orban is likely to have a connection with China's leader to Hungary. China's attention to Ukraine makes it important to maintain ties through Hungary.
"We need to take advantage of working with Hungary, which has a close relationship with China," Dzhigun added.
Finally, the speaker expressed hope for Hungary's participation at the Peace Summit, which can have a positive impact on the image of Ukraine and encourage other countries to participate.
"Ukraine should consolidate countries that do not always support it, but their presence at such events is important for our international role," Jigun concluded.
