During talks with Transcarpathia governor Valeri Lunchenko, Mr Németh expressed Hungary's continued support to Ukraine's efforts to preserve the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty. Hungary does not recognise Crimea's recent referendum, and will support the implementation of European sanctions against Russia. The latest developments demonstrate the acceleration of Ukraine's European integration, he added
