The mayor of a Hungarian-dominant city in Ukraine has rejected claims of systematic oppression against the Hungarian population made by the incoming Hungarian prime minister, Peter Magyar, on Wednesday, April 29. Zoltán Babják, the mayor of Berehove, said there is “no question of any oppression of the rights of the national community” in response to Magyar’s earlier claims, in which Magyar accused Kyiv of imposing “restrictions” in public life and culture on the Hungarian-speaking population.
