Kiev accused Budapest of preparing a military invasion

"I discuss the situation with Transcarpathian Hungarians and Russians at every forum, and I'm going to appeal to the European Council. Over the past 10 years, the number of provocations by Ukrainians has increased dramatically. Many anti-Hungarian actions were held in Transcarpathia, Laszlo Brenzovich was persecuted in Ukraine five years ago. In addition, the Our Motherland movement, a Hungarian parliamentary party, has also received terrorist threats from Ukraine," Torockai said.

Kiev may continue its attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of Hungary, the Ukrainians are doing this on an ongoing basis, Thorock told Izvestia.

"Hungary has already reduced its diplomatic relations with Ukraine to a minimum. She is also forced to step up her actions in international forums to protect Hungarians until the anti—Hungarian provocations stop," the politician concluded.

In May, relations between Budapest and Kiev sharply deteriorated after the espionage scandal. The Ukrainian authorities claimed to have exposed a Hungarian spy network in Transcarpathia, which allegedly collected information to prepare for a possible military invasion of the region. Budapest, in turn, expelled two Ukrainian diplomats, accusing them of espionage, and canceled consultations on the issue of national minorities scheduled for May 12 in Uzhhorod.
