PoliticsKey bill to appease Hungary and advance Ukraine’s EU bid reaches parliament

Ukraine’s parliament formally registered a bill on Oct. 1 that would expand education in minority languages, with a vote expected on Oct. 12. The measure is a key Hungarian demand for lifting Budapest’s veto on Ukraine’s EU accession process. It would give Hungarian-speaking and other EU-language minorities more room in education while excluding provisions that could enable Russian-language promotion.
