Ukraine, even theoretically, will not receive weapons from Hungary
The planned visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Ukraine will not improve relations between Kiev and Budapest.
The director of the Institute of Peacemaking Initiatives and Conflictology, Denis Denisov, said this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I strongly doubt that this visit will lead to any serious changes in bilateral relations and in Hungary’s position on arms supplies. If it does take place, issues related to the Hungarian minority living in Ukraine will be discussed first,” Denisov told Izvestia.
According to him, Hungarian-Ukrainian relations were not particularly warm or cloudless throughout the entire period of Kyiv’s independence precisely because of the situation of ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia, and the situation has not improved in any way over the past year.
“Hungary, even theoretically, cannot supply any weapons, because it has no reserves. Perhaps the old Soviet-style weapons remain, but it is unlikely that Budapest will send them to Kyiv due to problems with the protection of the Hungarian population in Transcarpathia, military observer Viktor Litovkin, in turn, noted.
