Dynamo Kyiv legend: “I’m ashamed to be Hungarian!”
FC Dynamo Kyiv legend József Szabó would take up a machine gun and fight the Russians if his health allowed it. He has expressed utter disappointment and says he is ashamed to be Hungarian.
The football legend mourns the victims
Every night, József Szabó mourns the Ukrainians who have fallen that day and dreams of driving the enemy out of the country in the morning. Szabó was a Hungarian citizen at birth, became a Soviet citizen after WWII, and a Ukrainian citizen in 1991. He played for Russian and Ukrainian football clubs as well. He was Ukraine’s national team captain and Dynamo Kyiv’s manager.
“I am ashamed to be a Hungarian”
According to Blikk.hu, he has been repeatedly denigrated and called a fascist by the Soviet press for his Hungarian identity, and he now believes the Russian army is surpassing the atrocities of the German SS. The man was upset by Blikk.hu’s contact and refused to give an interview to the Hungarian newspaper. When he picked up the phone, he said the following:
“Sorry, but I don’t want to talk to Hungarian newspapers. I am ashamed to be Hungarian. The main problem is not that Hungary is not helping Ukraine in the war, although I don’t understand why it doesn’t at least let the weapons sent from the West through the country. What hurts more and annoys me is that Viktor Orbán’s tongue is constantly up the arse of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, who started the war.”
After he said all this, he hung up.
A successful player and coach, he recently underwent knee surgery, and immediately after the war broke out, he was willing to give an interview to Magyar Nemzet, but unfortunately, this was not the case with Blikk.
Kárpáti Igaz Szó
According to Blikk.hu, Szabó told the Carpathian True Word (Kárpáti Igaz Szó, a newspaper of the Hungarian community in Ukraine) about his life a few days ago. In the days before the Russian attack on Ukraine, he was admitted to a hospital in Kyiv for surgery. After the first air raid, he was taken to the basement of the institution.
He was returned home at the end of March. His relatives asked him to leave Kyiv, but he refused to leave his apartment, even though he has a house in Transcarpathia (Kárpátalja), and his friends invited him to Hungary.
His son George Sabo came home from America and went to the front to fight. Szabó said he is worried about his son, but he agrees with his decision and supports him.
According to his friend
As we can read in the article of Blikk.hu, István Medvigy, a former member of the Transcarpathian Football Association, told Blikk that he spoke to his friend on the phone.
“Day after day, he walks around the besieged city, trying to help those who are in a more difficult situation than himself. He has struggled to cope with the tragedy of children murdered in the war, hated the Russians, and even deleted the numbers of his former Russian sports teammates from his phone book,”
said Medvigy.

Many Hungarians wuld ask you why you feel that way in light of the fact that Ukraine government treats many ethnic Hungarians bady? Frankly if you really love the Ukraine that much maybe you should ask some of the volunteer fighters that came to the Ukraine how they feel about having their passports of their home countries destroyed so they could not leave the Ukraine once they found out how poorly the Ukraine military treated them. Maybe you should as the foreign volunteers who were injured in the fighting how they feel about their fellow volunteers being shot in the back of the head by elements of the Ukrainian Azov battalion in their hospital ward? You know why you never heard of this? Because the media telling both sides of this story were silenced by the European Union and the US Government. I have no problem with the citizens of Ukraine but their government is pure evil and they brought the war with Russia on themselves by murdering more than 14,000 thousand innocent ethnic Russian residents of the Donbass region when they shelled the schools and residences of civilians between 2014 and the present. Putin is no saint but neither is Zelensky. If you feel that way after being given the otherside of the story then go ahead and commit suicide by shooting at Russian troops.
Who cares what that ingratful old fool thinks? The moment he pointed a weapon at the Russian military they would have every right to end his life.Ask the ethnic Hungarians in the Ukraine how poorly the Ukrainian Government treats them. I have no issue with the citizens of the Ukraine. I do however have issues with their Soros owned and US Government controlled puppet Zelenski. They brought the Russian military into Ukraine due to how the Ukrainian government shelled and attacked the innocent civilians of the Donbass and Lugansk breakaway regions. If the Ukrainan government had not treated the ethnic Russians badly in the past they would have not voted to secede from the Ukraine. The present Ukraine government and its entire military should be dealt with and replaced with a new government that will sign treaties to never become part of any military coalition such as NATO and they should be a neutral country not part of the EU or Russian Feferation and the Crimea, Lugansk and Donbass regions ceded to Russia.
