Magyar slapped Zelensky: Four key words for Ukraine were thrown out because of him

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar confirmed that he requested the removal of the phrase 'as soon as possible' from the EU declaration regarding Ukraine's accession process. The European Union had opened the first cluster of requirements for Ukraine and Moldavia to join the bloc, with five more clusters expected to be announced by July. In the final declaration, the phrase 'as soon as possible' was omitted, according to Kyiv Independent. Magyar stated that his initiative led to significant changes in the text, emphasizing the need for compromise rather than confrontation.
