On June 9, Prime Minister Peter Magyar of Hungary articulated the country's position regarding Ukraine's potential accession to the European Union. He firmly stated that Hungary will not tolerate double standards in the EU's enlargement policy and will not endorse an expedited process for Ukraine's membership, particularly given that the country is still engaged in conflict. Magyar clarified that while Hungary does not oppose the commencement of negotiations for EU integration, it insists on monitoring Ukraine's compliance with agreements concerning the rights of the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia. He highlighted that the accession process consists of 33 negotiating chapters, indicating that Ukraine faces a lengthy road ahead before any membership decision can be reached. Magyar previously indicated that the negotiation process could span 10 to 15 years. Furthermore, he reiterated that Hungary would demand strict guarantees for the rights of Transcarpathian Hungarians, warning that failure to meet these conditions could result in Hungary blocking Ukraine's European integration efforts.
