The leader of the Hungarian far-right party Mi Hazank Mozgalom ("Our Motherland"), László Torotskyi, announced territorial claims to Ukrainian Zakarpattia in the event of Ukraineʼs defeat in the war against Russia.

Speaking at the partyʼs annual conference in Budapest, Torotskai said that pressure from "international financiers" led to the war in Ukraine and that Ukraine was "bought" by the international investment fund BlackRock. He said that the war would destroy "Europe and send the economy of the continent to the bottom", so he advocates an immediate ceasefire and negotiations with Russia.
"If the statehood of Ukraine ceases to exist as a result of the war, Mi Hazank will claim Transcarpathia as the only parliamentary party," Torotskaya said.
- The Mi Hazank Mozgalom party holds 6 out of 199 seats in the Hungarian parliament. The majority (117 seats) is in Prime Minister Viktor Orbánʼs Fidesz party, which opposes supporting Ukraine in the war, demands negotiations with Russia and blocks aid to Ukraine from the EU.
