Zelenskiy Asked Neighbours to Let Grain Cargoes Through, Hungary PM Magyar Says

Hungary’s prime minister said he would allow grain to pass through if it only transits the country to other destinations.

  • On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy requested that Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary allow transit of grain cargoes, with Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar agreeing to the measure if cargo only passes through Hungary to other destinations.
  • Around 90% of Ukraine's wheat, corn, and sunflower seed exports depend on the Black Sea, where Russian military campaigns have nearly halted agricultural shipments, forcing Ukraine to seek alternative routes modeled on early-war solutions.
  • During talks on Friday, Zelenskiy and Magyar agreed to reset Ukraine-Hungary ties, with Magyar assuring the Ukrainian leader of his full solidarity over the "inhuman Russian aggression" against Ukraine.
  • Magyar has adopted a less confrontational approach toward Kyiv than his predecessor Viktor Orban, though he continues to demand progress on the rights of Hungary's ethnic minority in Ukraine.
  • The European Commission forecasts the European Union's maize harvest at 50.1 million metric tons this year, a near two-decade low, as record heat and drought decimate plantings in France and Hungary.
