Ukraine to summon Hungary’s ambassador to protest PM Orban attending football match wearing ‘Greater Hungary’ map scarf
Ukraine will summon Hungary’s ambassador to protest that Prime Minister Viktor Orban went to a soccer match wearing a scarf depicting part of Ukrainian territory as part of Hungary, Ukraine’s foreign ministry said today.
Ukrainian media released images of Orban’s meeting with a Hungarian soccer player, in which the prime minister is seen wearing a scarf that the online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda says depicts a map of “Greater Hungary.”

Nikolenko said Ukraine is seeking an apology as well as a denial that Hungary is claiming Ukrainian territory.
