“In our country, military emergency scenarios have been prepared ... It is in our interests that peace be established in the east as soon as possible, because then we will be able to avoid dangerous scenarios prepared in order to save and protect the 150,000 Hungarians living in Transcarpathia” , Szijjarto said in an interview with the Hungarian edition of Index.
According to him, Hungary continues to pursue a policy aimed at reducing the risk of a war.
At the end of March, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk said that Budapest's position regarding Russia's special operation to protect Donbass was "an unpleasant surprise", and suggested that Hungary wants to get cheap Russian gas or Transcarpathia.
