The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary confirmed that Budapest blocked Ukraine’s entry into the EU and NATO because of the issues of Transcarpathian Hungarians.
This was stated by the Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary Levent Madyar.
He admitted that because of the issues of the Transcarpathian Hungarians, Budapest “blocked Ukraine’s entry into the EU and NATO and its rapprochement with them,” and without resolving his concerns, “nothing will change.”

The government of Viktor Orbán, which has repeatedly shown its affection for Moscow, will appeal to discussions over the treatment of ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine.
