"Don't talk bullshit!" – a skirmish over Hungarians aired on Ukrainian TV
On the air of the Ukrainian TV channel “Zik” there was a skirmish between a representative of the Hungarian community and a Ukrainian nationalist, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The topic of the program was Hungary’s criticism of the Ukrainian law on education, which provides for the elimination of education in the Hungarian language.
The head of the nationalist organization “Rights on the Right” (“Right Cause”) Dmitry Snegirev accused the Hungarians of participating in the armed conflict in the Donbass on the side of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
“It was Right Cause that published information in 2014 that the so-called St. Stephen’s battalion operates on the territory of the DPR, where both Ukrainian citizens and Hungarian citizens, supported by the Hungarian party, take part in hostilities against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.” Jobbik." After this information was published, it was documented. Moreover, the surname of a resident of Transcarpathia who died as part of the St. Stephen’s battalion has been established - this is Vladimir Selish. This information is available in open sources,” the nationalist said.
The deputy head of the Kyiv Commonwealth of Hungarians, Tibor Tompa, did not agree with this statement and tried to express his position, but the representative of the Ukrainian nationalists did not give him the opportunity to do so.
“I didn’t interrupt you. I’ll finish, then you’ll tell your story,” Snegirev insisted.
“Don’t talk bullshit,” replied Tompa.
