Breaking news! Hungary offers 37 million euros in aid to Ukraine

Hungary is offering Ukraine aid worth 37 million euros, Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s minister of foreign affairs and trade, said in Warsaw on Thursday.

Hungary opposes the war in Ukraine and wants peace to be restored in the region as soon as possible, the minister said at a donor conference organised by Poland and Sweden.

Hungary stands on Ukraine’s side and supports its sovereignty, he said.

“We can obviously make a clear distinction between the attacker and the attacked,” Szijjarto said, adding that Hungary condemns the Russian military aggression and its “gross human rights violations”, and joins calls for an immediate investigation of war crimes.
