> A Ukrainian official said President Volodymyr Zelensky will attend the Oct. 15 European Council summit if Kyiv advances its EU accession process beforehand. Parliament is expected to pass legislation strengthening the rights of Ukraine’s Hungarian-speaking minority on Oct. 12, potentially persuading Hungary to drop its veto and allowing the EU to open two more enlargement clusters.
