KYIV, Oct. 4 - Ukraine has declared a Hungarian consul persona non grata and demanded he leave the country within 72 hours, RFE/RL reported.
The Foreign Ministry accused the diplomat, who is based in the western Ukrainian town of Berehove near the Hungarian border, of "activities incompatible with the status of a consular officer."
The move comes after Kyiv accused Hungary's Consulate in Berehove of illegally issuing passports to ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine.
