This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko on Facebook.

"During a conversation with journalists, the Hungarian Prime Minister compared Ukraine to Afghanistan and called it a "no man's land." 

This is another disrespectful statement by Viktor Orban about Ukraine. Such statements are categorically unacceptable. Budapest continues to pursue a course of deliberate destruction of Hungarian-Ukrainian relations, significantly undermining the possibility of further dialogue between the two neighbouring countries," he wrote.

Nikolenko noted that the Hungarian ambassador will be summoned to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry for a frank conversation.
