Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba met with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto to discuss the European Council's decision to open negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the EU. This  was reported by the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, according to UNN.

I have just finished a meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto. We talked for an hour. It was a very long, sincere conversation. We've known each other for a long time, although it's really the first time since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion that we've sat down and had a thorough conversation. We answered each other's questions honestly." 

Kuleba wrote on his Instagram page.

According to him, the topic of the meeting was the European Council's decision to open negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the EU.

I understand that everyone is waiting for an answer: yes or no? Give me some time. I'm going to report to President Zelenskyy right now. Peter will report to his Prime Minister. Meanwhile, I want to give one signal. I made it clear to Peter: we have a common future in Europe. We have to get there as soon as possible. Together
