This was announced against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations on the enlargement of the European Union.<\/p>\n<h2>Hungary sets conditions for supporting Ukraine's EU application<\/h2>\n<p>Hungary has officially stated that it will not support Ukraine's application for membership in the European Union without specific guarantees for ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-04-30\/magyar-wants-help-for-ukraine-s-hungarians-before-backing-eu-bid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a>, The government insists on protecting the rights of the Hungarian minority, in particular in the field of education and the use of the mother tongue.<\/p>\n<p>The Hungarian Foreign Minister has stated that the issue of respect for the rights of national minorities is a matter of principle for Budapest. The Hungarian authorities believe that Ukraine should guarantee unimpeded access to education in the Hungarian language for its citizens of Hungarian origin.<\/p>\n<h2>Reaction of Kyiv and the European Union<\/h2>\n<p>The Ukrainian authorities have not yet provided an official response to Hungary's new conditions. Questions. <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/suspilstvo\/mer-berehovoho-uhorska-hromada-ukrayiny-otrymuye-pidtrymku\/\">protection of the rights of national minorities<\/a> has been repeatedly raised during the EU-Ukraine negotiations, but the Hungarian side is demanding concrete steps.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union notes that the protection of minority rights is one of the requirements for candidate countries. However, according to diplomats, Hungary's position could complicate Ukraine's further progress towards EU membership.<\/p>\n<h2>Potential impact on Ukraine's European integration<\/h2>\n<p>Hungary's demands could become a significant obstacle to Ukraine's progress in European integration. If Kyiv does not agree to Budapest's conditions, it could delay or prevent Ukraine from becoming a candidate for <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/ponad-80-ukrayintsiv-pidtrymujut-vstup-do-yes\/\">accession to the EU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Experts note that such statements may affect the overall dynamics of the European Union's enlargement. Ukraine is forced to seek a compromise in order to maintain the support of all EU member states.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>Hungary's position on protecting the rights of national minorities is important not only for bilateral relations with Ukraine, but also for European politics in general. Ukraine's further movement towards the EU depends on the support of each member state.<\/p>\n<p>This issue also relates to the broader principles of the European Union regarding the protection of cultural and linguistic identity. As the situation shows, the process of EU enlargement can be complicated by the internal political demands of individual states.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine is at a critical stage in the negotiations, and the decision on the rights of the Hungarian minority may determine the fate of its European integration aspirations.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0430, \u0449\u043e \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0430\u0454 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0447\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e \u0432 \u0404\u0421 \u043b\u0438\u0448\u0435 \u0437\u0430 \u0443\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438 \u0433\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0456\u0439 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0443\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u0448\u0438\u043d\u0438. \u041f\u0440\u043e \u0446\u0435 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u043e \u0432\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e \u043d\u0430 \u0442\u043b\u0456 \u0442\u0440\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0447\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0456\u0432 \u0449\u043e\u0434\u043e \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0448\u0438\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0421\u043e\u044e\u0437\u0443. \u0423\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0438\u0441\u0443\u0432\u0430\u0454 \u0443\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043a\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0434\u043e \u0404\u0421 \u0423\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u043e\u0444\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u043e \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0430, \u0449\u043e \u043d\u0435 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0430\u0454 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043a\u0443 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0447\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e \u0432 \u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0421\u043e\u044e\u0437\u0456 \u0431\u0435\u0437 \u043a\u043e\u043d\u043a\u0440\u0435\u0442\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0433\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0456\u0439 \u0434\u043b\u044f [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433346,"featured_media":17798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0423\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0438\u0441\u0443\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u043d\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u0443\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0438 \u0437\u0430\u044f\u0432\u043a\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f \u0434\u043e \u0404\u0421, \u043d\u0430\u043f\u043e\u043b\u044f\u0433\u0430\u044e\u0447\u0438 \u043d\u0430 \u0433\u0430\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0456\u044f\u0445 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0443\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0457 \u043c\u0435\u043d\u0448\u0438\u043d\u0438.","rank_math_title":"\u0423\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0438\u0441\u0443\u043d\u0443\u043b\u0430 \u0443\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u0443 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0434\u043e \u0404\u0421","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0443\u0433\u043e\u0440\u0449\u0438\u043d\u0430","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805617],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17799","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433346"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17799"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17802,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17799\/revisions\/17802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
