"The study presented consists of a media analysis and focus group discussions. CEID conveyed the narrative analysis of four chosen Hungarian media outlets to identify the key messages used concerning Ukraine and Ukraine's future EU membership. Following this, focus group discussions were organized to map the Hungarian respondents' opinions about the same topics. This way we could showcase the Ukraine-related messages in the media outlets with the highest reach, and the potential recipient side of them. The Hungarian results significantly differed from the results of all three other countries, showing a one-sided, strongly negative image of Ukraine, deeming absolutely non-desirable and impossible that Ukraine could ever join the EU. The focus group discussions corresponded to this as the respondents depicted Ukraine in a negative light and repeated the propagandistic messages."- Dorka Takácsy, Research Fellow, CEID
