Until now, Hungary has been opposed to the transfer of arms supplies to Ukraine through its territory, explaining this position with fears that the Russians might shoot Hungarians living in Ukrainian Transcarpathia.

– We are shocked by what is happening here, we are really sorry for you. We have fought Russia three times in the past two hundred years. The floaters were fatal. Unlike many western partners, we felt ourselves how resistance this great eastern country was – he said Hungarian Deputy Foreign Minister Leventi Magyar on Tuesday in Lviv at a meeting with the mayor of this city, Andrej Sadoy.
