Hungary’s election winner Magyar — key statements:

– Will not participate in the EU loan to Ukraine
– Opposes accelerated EU accession for Ukraine
– Hopes the EU will lift sanctions on Russia after the war
– Demands Kiev resolve the language law issue and allow Hungary’s minority to legally use Hungarian
