Hungarian Far-Right Threatens to Claim Neighboring Region if Ukraine Falls
TL;DR
Hungary's far-right Our Homeland party, led by Laszlo Toroczkai, stated that they would lay claim to a western region of Ukraine, home to about 150,000 ethnic Hungarians, if Ukraine loses its statehood due to Russia's invasion. This announcement was made at a conference where far-right leaders from Germany's AfD and the Dutch Forum for Democracy were also present. The Hungarian government, however, has expressed support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto is set to meet with Ukrainian officials to address the ongoing tensions.
