It is important to note that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went as far as flying to Argentina to catch up with Mr. Orban and engage with Hungary's prime minister before the December EU summit. Despite these efforts, the anticipated positive developments sought by Zelensky did not materialize. Post-summit, President Zelensky extended an invitation to Hungary's Prime Minister Orban for further discussions.
PM Orban and President Zelensky Won't Just Discuss National Minorities
According to Igor Zhovkva, the head of Ukraine's presidential office, the one-on-one meeting will cover several other topics as well.

The chief of the Ukrainian presidential office highlighted that the dialogue between the two leaders should extend beyond the specific issue of Hungarian minorities living in Ukraine. It is crucial to remember that the rights of minorities were revoked abruptly by a Ukraine that's so eager to join the EU.
Speaking to the Ukrainian Interfax news agency, Igor Zhovkva underscored that Ukraine has already embraced comprehensive legislation on national minorities, a proposal set forth by both the European Commission and the Venice Commission.
He said the possible negotiations would affect bilateral relations between Ukraine and Hungary.
And this is a broad spectrum, not limited to the problems of national minorities,
– Mr Zhovkva said.
We can discuss the economy, as well as the transit between neighboring states,
– he added.
