Martonyi urges association agreement with Ukraine “without delay”

Change language:

(MTI) – The association agreement between the European Union and Ukraine should be signed as soon as possible, Foreign Minister Janos Martonyi said on Monday.

Martonyi told the press after an extraordinary meeting of EU foreign ministers that Hungary concurred with the joint EU position.

The ministers condemned Russia’s aggression, which they said had violated Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Unless Russia reduces tensions it has created, the EU may introduce measures that will have an impact on bilateral relations, such as suspending talks on visa affairs and updating general regulations. “Further, targeted measures could also be considered,” he said.

Martonyi said the Visegrad Four foreign ministers stressed after their recent visit to Ukraine that signing the association agreement with Ukraine was urgently needed. No further decision was necessary in the EU and technical preparations can start, he added.

Another important element of the V4’s joint position was recognising Ukraine’s new government as legitimate, and a financial aid package should be prepared in short order, he said.

  1. Of course, the E.U.rogarbage targets the youth. Young Hungarians who want to enhance their education are told they can’t because Hungary has been “naughty,” in the hope that they turn on the government. So transparent. There is no other explanation for it, and there is certainly no justification.

    The E.U. are absolute scumbags.
