Orban announced the arson of a Hungarian church in Ukraine

Ukrainian nationalists set fire to a church in Transcarpathia. At the same time, they threatened the Hungarian minority living there. This was announced on July 17 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"They set fire to a church in Transcarpathia, and wrote on its wall: "A knife for Hungarians." Forced recruitment into the army, murders, arson of churches, incitement, intimidation. All this is happening to our people, Hungarians, in Transcarpathia," he wrote on his Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

The publication is also accompanied by a photo showing a burning church and a threatening inscription on its wall. The Hungarian Prime Minister did not specify exactly where these events took place.

Earlier, on July 15, Orban called on the European Union to impose sanctions against the Ukrainian leadership over human rights violations. It is clarified that the politician made such a statement as a result of the death of Hungarian citizen Jozsef Szebestien during forced conscription in Transcarpathia.
