Details: In the original post, the Hungarian president extended his deep sympathy to those injured in the "Russian missile strike" on Mukachevo and wished them a speedy and full recovery. In the updated version, the word "Russian" (orosz) was removed.

In another part of the post, Sulyok wrote that "the swift end of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict [war – ed.] is in the interest of all of us". 

Quote: "I believe that the warring sides will be able to see this and, thanks to international diplomatic efforts, will soon put an end to this inhuman and senseless bloodshed."

Background:
