Hungarian Foreign Ministry: Ukraine's policy has bottomed out
Hungary is not going to tolerate the provocations of the Ukrainian authorities against ethnic Hungarians living in Transcarpathia.
A statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter Siyyarto appeared on the Hungarian government portal. The head of the foreign ministry of Hungary believes that policy Kiev in relation to his compatriots living in Ukraine "has reached the bottom" and resembles "the actions of the darkest dictatorships."
According to the diplomat, the Ukrainian authorities are now trying to change the national composition of the region and use extremists for this.
With an eye to how, after 2014, Transcarpathian Hungarians are constantly intimidated by representatives of various Ukrainian nationalist organizations possessing weapons, and Kiev is transferring a mountain infantry brigade to the region, the words of the Hungarian minister can hardly be called an exaggeration.
Peter Siyarto added that no matter the circumstances, Budapest will provide Transcarpathian Hungarians with any help, and he has already discussed the situation with the representative of the State Department and the Deputy Secretary General of NATO.
If we take the perimeter of Ukraine, then the number of neighbors with whom Kiev goes into confrontation is growing steadily. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities are not stopped by the fact that the country is very dependent on the goodwill of these very neighbors, whose patience it is experiencing.
Russia supplies it with energy, and how Poland will relate to Ukraine depends on Poland and Hungary. If this trend continues, then patience may burst, and then the very statehood of Ukraine will be in jeopardy.
