Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Budapest, Hungary, for the fifth meeting of the European Political Community, a high-stakes gathering aimed at addressing regional security and economic cooperation. The visit comes amid ongoing efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s ties with European nations as it navigates geopolitical challenges.
Why It Matters
The European Political Community, launched in 2022, serves as a forum for dialogue between EU and non-EU countries, with topics like energy security and crisis response topping the agenda. Zelenskyy’s participation signals Ukraine’s push for greater integration with European institutions. “Every meeting is a step toward stability,” he tweeted ahead of the summit.
Hungary’s Role
Hungary, a NATO member with close economic ties to both Ukraine and Russia, has often walked a diplomatic tightrope. Observers are watching whether this summit could ease recent tensions over energy policies and regional security.
