The Hungarian parliament on Tuesday assented to prolonging the government’s state of emergency for another 180 days till May 13 next year.
Laszlo Csizmadia, president of the pro-government COF-COKA organisation, has said the Peace March to be held on Hungary's October 23 national holiday sent a clear message that the country "will not be a colony, and we will defend our sovereignty".
Tensions between Ukraine and Hungary have escalated dramatically. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Hungary of violating Ukrainian airspace with reconnaissance drones, suggesting a potential "spy mission" on Ukraine's border industrial areas.
Hungary on Monday decided to block certain Ukrainian news portals as a reciprocal response to a similar move by Ukraine, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office said on Monday.
