Reactions of the President and Prime Minister of Hungary to the strike on Mukachevo

The President of Hungary, Tamas Shuyok, expressed his condolences to those affected by the Russian attack on Mukachevo. He wrote about this in a post on his Facebook page. However, less than an hour later, Shuyok edited the post and instead of 'Russian missile strike' left simply 'missile strike'. This was pointed out by Hungarian media as well as commentators on the post. In the same message, Shuyok wrote about the sooner cessation of the 'Russian-Ukrainian conflict' in the general interest.

“Efforts aimed at achieving peace and the negotiation process initiated by President Trump must continue,” Orban stated.

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, also reacted to the strike on Mukachevo. He reported that the consequences of the Russian missile strike were discussed at the government meeting, but no condemnation of the attack was expressed, and he called for peace.

At the same time, the number of those affected by the Russian shelling of the Transcarpathian region has increased to 15.

It is noted that the RF army carried out a missile strike on Mukachevo around five in the morning on August 21. The impact of two 'Caliber' type missiles caused an explosion at a local plant with foreign investments. The strike was so powerful that the fire covered an area of about 7,000 square meters.
