European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa are in Budapest for a commemoration marking a shift in EU-Hungary relations under Prime Minister Péter Magyar. The event signifies a thaw after years of acrimony with Magyar's predecessor, Viktor Orbán. Despite improved diplomatic ties since Magyar's election, Hungary recently blocked further steps in Ukraine's EU accession talks. French President Emmanuel Macron cancelled his attendance due to riots in France. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his view that Russians and Ukrainians are 'one people' and suggested Ukraine insists on fighting Russia, while promising to achieve all war objectives.
