Foreign ministers of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba and Hungary Peter Szijjarto agreed to honor the memory of their fallen compatriots in both countries.

This was stated by foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba at a joint press conference with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto in Kyiv, Ukrinform reports.

"We agreed that a memorial cross to those who died for Ukraine will be installed in Budapest. Ukraine, in turn, will grant permission to allocate an additional site for the placement of the Hungarian military cemetery in the Transcarpathian region," Kuleba said.

He added that this is a very important humanitarian gesture of both sides.

"Negotiations on this issue lasted a very long time, and I am glad that today Peter (Szijjarto) and I managed to put an end to them in the interests of our societies and honoring the memory of our compatriots," the head of Ukrainian diplomacy said.
