Hungary condemns Russia’s full-scale war, affirms Ukraine’s right to self-defense

President Andrish Balind Baka used his United Nations address to condemn what he called "Russia's full-scale war of aggression as a violation of United Nations Charter and international law," and to reaffirm Hungary's support for Ukraine's territorial integrity. He said Hungary "affirms Ukraine's right to self-defense, its sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders."

Baka warned that if territorial acquisition by force becomes accepted, "every smaller country will have reasons to worry about its own future," framing defense of Ukraine as a broader defense of international order. He also expressed condolences for lives lost and called for diplomacy that results in a peace respecting Ukraine's sovereignty.
