On 28 January, the Ambassador of Hungary to Ukraine, Antal Gaiser, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, where a firm protest was lodged regarding recent false statements by the Hungarian leadership alleging Ukraine’s interference in Hungary’s parliamentary elections.

The Hungarian diplomat was reminded that Ukraine is categorically opposed to the involvement of our country in Hungary’s electoral campaign, which openly undermines the development of bilateral relations.

The Hungarian side was urged to halt aggressive anti-Ukrainian rhetoric to prevent negative consequences for relations between the two neighboring countries.

It was emphasized that Ukraine, for its part, remains ready to develop constructive cooperation with Hungary. In this context, the necessity of unblocking Ukraine’s accession negotiations with the European Union was reiterated, which is undoubtedly in the interests of both peoples and the Hungarian minority in Ukraine.
