Hungary is also working to increase capacity to allow Ukrainian grain to leave the country towards Hungary, he said. “This could lead to Hungary becoming one of the primary routes for Ukrainian grain into the world,” he said.

Magyar is scheduled to hold talks with dignitaries in Lviv and Kyev in the coming days.
