The volunteer asked the Hungarian minister to remember the lessons of history and what Soviet tanks brought to the streets of Budapest in 1956.
At a conference at Harvard University, the head of the American foundation Center for Assistance to Ukraine in the USA, Alexei Prokopenko, showed Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó a fragment of a Russian tank that was destroyed during the conflict in the region of Kyiv. Ukrinform reported this today, February 10.
Hungarian leaders often make statements that contradict the European policy in Ukraine, so the volunteer decided to find his own arguments for the minister.
“It was made in Russia, and burned and recycled in Ukraine. Wear it as a keychain with your house keys so you don’t forget what Russian terror is. Please remember the lessons of history and what those Soviet tanks on the streets of Budapest 1956.” – said Prokopenko, handing the souvenir to the Hungarian minister.
In a comment to Ukrinform, Prokopenko said that “the rhetoric during the conference mainly concerned the war in Ukraine and aid to it as a determining factor in the near future”: the speakers condemned Russia’s actions, ” which does not indicate fatigue in Ukraine, but the strong and unwavering support of the Ukrainian people.” .
Earlier, the Office of the Prosecutor General reported that more than 9,000 war crimes were committed in the Buchansky district of the Kyiv region during the Russian occupation. A year later, nearly a hundred Russian military personnel were revealed as suspects.
