Settled dispute: A new chapter between Hungary and Ukraine?

Hungary's new Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, sparked controversy by referencing the Treaty of Trianon during a speech, which historically cost Hungary two-thirds of its territory. Slovakia's Foreign Minister responded strongly against any questioning of its borders or sovereignty. Meanwhile, relations between Hungary and Ukraine appear to be improving, with Hungarian Foreign Minister Anita Orbán and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha announcing a 'new chapter' based on mutual trust and respect. Hungary claims a 'historic agreement' has been reached regarding the rights of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia, allowing greater use of the Hungarian language in education, administration, and culture where at least 10% of the population belongs to the Hungarian minority. This development follows Ukraine's legal reforms aimed at aligning with EU standards, including reversing a 2017 law that limited minority-language instruction in schools.
