Ukrainian leaders in Kyiv did not deny financing activities against the Hungarian government

The Ukrainian leaders have not clearly denied financing activities against the Hungarian government, however, they did not provide details and pledged clarification at a later date, the parliamentary state secretary of the foreign ministry told public broadcaster M1 on Thursday.

Levente Magyar has recently returned from Kyiv, where he asked Ukraine’s leadership for an explanation for the defamation campaign, which, according to the secret services, was being waged by Ukraine.

Magyar said he was curious to see an explanation for those activities but added that he did not expect to receive much information. In the absence of an explanation, Hungary will need to take measures in response, which he also outlined, he said.

Magyar also noted that issues around the rights of the Hungarian minority to the use of their mother tongue had been unresolved for ten years. He said that unless the problems of ethnic kin and the current activities against the Hungarian government were cleared up, the Hungarian government would need to return to an earlier policy of blocking Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration process.
