On January 28, the Ambassador of Hungary to Ukraine, Antal Heizer, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, where a strong protest was expressed in connection with the recent false statements by the Hungarian leadership regarding Ukraine's alleged interference in the parliamentary elections in Hungary.
As reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Hungarian diplomat was emphasized that "Ukraine is categorically against the Hungarian side involving our country in the election campaign in Hungary, which openly harms the development of bilateral relations."
The Hungarian side was urged to stop aggressive anti-Ukrainian rhetoric to avoid negative consequences for relations between the two neighboring countries.
