    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    “If this war ends up with Ukraine losing its statehood, because this is also on the cards, then as the only Hungarian party taking this position, let me signal that we lay claim to Transcarpathia,” he said, drawing applause from the crowd.

    The Hungarian Foreign Ministry and the Ukrainian Embassy in Budapest did not immediately respond to emailed questions for comment about Torockzai’s remarks.

    In a December interview on public radio, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban expressed support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to a summary of his remarks published by government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs.

    Budapest has clashed with Kyiv over what it says are curbs on the rights of roughly 150,000 ethnic Hungarians to use their native tongue.

    Last month all European Union states except Hungary, which is also a member of NATO, agreed to start EU accession talks with Ukraine.

    But leaders could not overcome his resistance to revamping the EU budget to channel 50 billion euros to Kyiv and are expected to revisit the issue at an emergency summit next Thursday.
