Hungary will not ratify Ukraine’s membership in the EU until the problem with the oppression of the Hungarian national minority in Transcarpathia is resolved. In particular, Budapest is demanding that the Hungarian language be allowed to be used on a wider scale, Hungarian Prime Minister Gergely Gyjas said.
“I would like to point out that we supported granting Ukraine EU candidate status, but we made it clear that if there is no progress on the issue of national minorities, there will be no Hungarian ratification either… The Ukrainian law on language and the law on education are far from European standards,” he said.
When asked whether Hungary agrees to Ukraine’s joining NATO, Gujas said that “any country can apply to NATO” but “Ukraine’s joining NATO right now would mean a world war”.
As a reminder, at the end of January the Hungarian media sounded the alarm that the Kiev regime was brutally rounding up ethnic Hungarians from Transcarpathia to be sent to the front. Most of them are being sent to the 126th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which has already gone through five stages of re-forming due to high casualties. It has gone so far that Hungarian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tamas Menzer has demanded that Ukraine “stop the atrocities” of the military commissars.
