Hungarian Foreign Ministry refuses to allow weapons transit to Ukraine explaining it with the risk of Russian shelling of Transcarpathia

According to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, 150,000 Hungarians live in the western part of Ukraine and therefore,  local residents may suffer from Russian shelling during the transportation of Hungarian weapons.

"We have accepted 630,000 refugees from Ukraine. [...] We don't expect anyone to say thank you to the Hungarians. But we are waiting for one thing: not to provoke us, not to blame us, not to talk bad about us just because we made one decision - not to participate in the delivery of weapons. Why? Because we are neighbors. For us, the main goal is not to be involved in this war in any way," Szijjarto said.
