"Ukraine and Hungary Make Progress on Aid Package Amid Minority Concerns"
TL;DR Summary
Ukraine has amended its education and language laws to comply with EU requirements, restoring many language rights demanded by Hungary for its ethnic Hungarian minority in Zakarpattia. However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán remains unsatisfied, using the issue as a potential sticking point in his opposition to a 50-billion euro aid package for Ukraine. The dispute over language is rooted in Ukraine’s efforts to bolster its national identity after the 2014 conflict with Russia-backed rebels, and despite some improvements, Hungary's government is not yet fully ready to support Ukraine.
