In a speech last week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán revealed that hundreds of ethnic Hungarians have died in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
During the speech, Orbán stated “We should not get involved in this war no matter what….because in our neighboring country many Hungarians live.“
He added that “Everyday people are dying. Hundreds of Hungarians have also died… those that the Ukrainian army has conscripted.”
According to the Washington Post, there are 2 million Hungarians living abroad, with roughly 130,000 of them living in Ukraine. They’re specifically concentrated in the Zakarpattia Oblast in the Transcarpathia region.
