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.
– At the same time, I would like to note that Hungary will not supply weapons – This is our position. However, third countries may use our territory – said McGuire, citing the Ukrainian agency Interfax.
The deputy head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry added that his country is ready to accept Ukrainian children in its sanatoriums and summer camps. The Hungarian delegation also offered to help treat civilians and military personnel in medical institutions in Hungary, and to ensure that Ukrainians were ready to fund a thousand scholarships in Hungarian universities.
