Hungary and Ukraine agreed to reset bilateral ties on Friday during a meeting in Brussels, easing diplomatic friction. The diplomatic shift follows Hungary's decision to drop objections to EU membership talks after Kyiv expanded minority language rights. Warmer relations are pivotal for unlocking multi-billion-euro EU financial backing for Kyiv in its war with Russia.
