Hungary's EU Policy: Ethnic Hungarians in Western Ukraine Reject Being Held Hostage
TL;DR Summary
The ethnic Hungarian residents of Berehove, Ukraine, are refusing to be "hostages" to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's EU policy. Orban has threatened to block Ukraine's EU membership talks over language rights issues, but many ethnic Hungarians in Berehove believe they should behave as citizens of Ukraine and not rely on Orban to defend their interests. Despite Hungary's financial support to the region, the ethnic Hungarians in Zakarpattya have distanced themselves from Orban's positions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. They see themselves as Ukrainians and are willing to defend their motherland.
