Zelensky signs education law changes that could clear Ukraine's path to the EU
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed amendments to the education law that were previously passed by parliament. They could effectively remove Hungary's veto on Ukraine joining the European Union.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed amendments to the country's education law that were earlier adopted by the Ukrainian parliament. The news was reported on 13 October 2026 by Latvian public media outlet LSM.
According to the report, the changes could effectively lift Hungary's veto, which has blocked Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Hungary is an EU member state, and on questions of admitting new countries it can object to Ukraine's progress toward membership.
This means the signed law may become an important step on Ukraine's road to EU membership. The information currently available does not describe in detail what exactly the amendments contain or how Hungary will respond.
