Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has announced that he will seek to repair relations with Hungary, which have been strained by the two countries' very different responses to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Morawiecki has renewed his calls for Europe to free itself from Russian energy dependence.
"The attitude to the war significantly divides the Visegrád Group," Morawiecki told news weekly Sieci, in reference to the alliance of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia known as the V4.
Hungary's tepid support for Ukraine after the Russian invasion and its continued ties with Moscow have led the other members of the group to distance themselves from Budapest. I
n his interview with Sieci, cited by notesfrompoland.com, Morawiecki said that, while "respecting the sensitivity of our Ukrainian friends, I am going to try to work out a formula in which we will be able to return to both cooperation within the V4 and to joint activities with Hungary in those areas where we share values and interests."
