Overview

• Foreign Minister Andriï Sybiga announced entry bans on three senior Hungarian military officials, calling it a mirror response to earlier Hungarian measures.
• President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces recorded recent reconnaissance-drone violations that were probably Hungarian, without specifying locations or dates.
• Zelensky indicated initial assessments suggested the drones may have surveyed industrial potential in Ukraine’s border areas.
• Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected the claim and accused Zelensky of an anti-Hungarian fixation, also criticizing Kyiv over EU accession expectations.
• Tensions have been heightened by Hungary’s earlier bans on Ukrainian officers and its persona non grata declaration for Colonel Robert Brovdi, alongside longstanding disputes over military aid, EU policy, and the Hungarian minority in western Ukraine.
