The Mayor of Budapest Made a Statement After the Visit to Bucha

"If someone has lost their moral compass, I advise them to come here, to Bucha and to Kyiv, and look into the eyes of those who survived"

On January 11, at the invitation of the mayor of Kyiv Volodymyr Klychko, the mayors of 4 European capitals arrived in the capital of Ukraine: Warsaw, Bratislava, Prague and Budapest. As part of their visit, mayors had the opportunity not only to look at the long-suffering and strong Kyiv but also at Bucha. Anyone who has been to Bucha cannot forget what they saw.

Karácsony Gergel, the mayor of the Hungarian capital, was impressed and made a statement for his people.

"If someone has lost their moral compass and cannot see the difference between a victim and an aggressor if someone has forgotten what Hungarians went through in the XX century, I advise you to come here, to Bucha and Kyiv and look into the eyes of those who survived. Then it will be clear that in this war it is not just 2 countries fighting each other, but an evil force is trying to occupy another country," Karácsony Gergel.

On the wrapper, you can see a photo from the walk of 5 mayors in Kyiv: the delegation is standing against the background of a building in the city's centre, which was destroyed by a Russian drone on October 17.
