Kiev is indignant with the statement of the foreign Ministry of Hungary in connection with the signing by President Petro Poroshenko law “On education” that allegedly Budapest was going to block the European integration aspirations of Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Ukrainian delegation to PACE, MP from the faction “Block of Petro Poroshenko” Vladimir Aryev, reports Interfax-Ukraine.
According to him, Ukraine is ready to meet Hungary’s responses.
“We as neighbors interacted with them. If they don’t want to interact in a neighborly way, for example, the Council of Europe, the number of Ukrainian delegates to three times the amount of Hungarian, and we can influence the final decision in Hungary as well. If they resort to blackmail, not to quiet negotiations, is not a reliable partnership. What makes Hungary is blackmail, because in this case we act as mirror relative to Hungary, if they do this to us”, – Aryev told.
