He said this in an interview with Hungarian television, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mariana Betsa reported on Twitter.

"Our goal is to ensure the role of Ukrainian as a state language at the same level as it is ensured in all European countries, including in Hungary," Klimkin said, while commenting on the Ukrainian law on education.
