Ukraine and Hungary engage in "diplomatic war"

"We hope that the Hungarian side will refrain from any unfriendly steps towards Ukraine in the future, and that its officials will not violate Ukrainian legislation," the ministry said.

Ukraine is dissatisfied that Hungary is issuing passports to members of the Hungarian community in that country.

Hungary, in turn, expelled a Ukrainian consul, and threatened to block Ukraine's EU and NATO integrations.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto accused Ukraine of carrying out "an extreme campaign that spurs hatred towards Transcarpathian Hungarians," and denied that the Hungarian consul had violated the law.

Szijjarto also criticized Ukraine's decision to conduct military exercises near the border with Hungary.
