Since Hungary's pro-EU conservative leader took office in May, both countries have tried to mend ties that were tense under Magyar's Kremlin-friendly predecessor Viktor Orban.
"We've had a very good meeting," Zelensky told reporters in Brussels, where he had spoken with Magyar on the sidelines of an EU summit.
