During a meeting with UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ilze Brands Kehris, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó expressed that Hungary cannot support Ukraine's transatlantic and European integration as long as Hungarian schools in Transcarpathia are in danger.
Szijjártó pointed out that while Hungary has accepted children and students who fled Ukraine in 1,300 schools and kindergartens in Hungary, 99 Hungarian primary and secondary schools in Ukraine are threatened with closure due to the Ukrainian education law.
