Ukraine banned the entry of two senior Hungarian officials due to “turmoil” in Transcarpathia during municipal elections, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitro Kuleba told Interfax-Ukraine.

According to the Foreign Minister, one of the officials was the Secretary of State to the Hungarian Prime Minister, whom he did not mention by name and did not reveal anything about the other, but also initiated an entry ban for other Hungarian citizens who “interfered “actively in the internal affairs of Ukraine during the elections.

“Soon we will inform our partners in detail about the fact of the Hungarian intervention in the elections, we have already informed the OSCE observation mission about this,” said Kuleba, who said the situation could not be interpreted otherwise. He said:

“It cannot all be reduced to the Facebook post of my colleague Péter Szijjártó. This is usually Hungarian politics. Our position is very simple, yesterday we evaluated these actions. The way the Hungarian government behaved on the eve of the elections and on the day of the elections was an interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine. “

During the day, the Hungarian ambassador in Kiev, István Íjgyártó, was requested to attend the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and was given a protest list. Péter Szijjártó called the procedure nonsense and said that “in a very unfriendly tone and not with the intention of making friends,” the Ukrainians asked István Bowmaker.

A week ago, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry warned Hungary not to interfere in local elections. (MTI)
