Although the Ukrainian president spends a lot of time in the media, we do not remember him thanking the Hungarian government and especially the Hungarian people for their selfless and sometimes superhuman assistance to the Ukrainian war victims and refugees. On the other hand, Zelenskyi criticized the Hungarian government for the second time in a short period of time for its stance on sanctions, but even the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry instructed Péter Szijjártó in their usual arrogant style.
Hungarians stand against humanity and common sense
"Everyone knows exactly who in the EU is against humanity and common sense, who does nothing for the peace of Ukraine. This must end, and Europe can no longer listen to Budapest's excuses," 444 quotes from the Ukrainian Prime Minister's latest video login.
The newspaper writes: After his speech on Tuesday, Zelensky summarized on his Telegram channel the kind of solidarity he expects from the European Union countries:
expand sanctions, cut off Russian oil, no trade with Russia, and close ports to Russian ships.
The portal recalls: Zelenskiy directly addressed Viktor Orbán at the European Union summit on Thursday evening, asking if he knew what was happening in Mariupol. “And you are hesitating to impose sanctions or not? And you are hesitating whether to let the weapons pass or not? Are you hesitating to trade with Russia or not? There is no time to hesitate, a decision must be made now," said the Ukrainian Prime Minister at the time.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry: "It is immoral to speculate on the trials of Ukrainians"
"We categorically reject Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó's attempts to involve Ukraine in Hungary's internal political struggle," wrote Oleg Nikolenko, the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, on Facebook on Tuesday. He added: It is immoral to speculate on the trials of Ukrainians in order to receive a political dividend before the parliamentary elections.
24.hu , Nikolenko emphasized that Ukraine has never interfered in Hungary's internal affairs and will not do so in the future .
"Ultimately, the actions of Hungarian politicians will be evaluated by the Hungarian people and history.
"Ukraine calls on the Hungarian leadership to abandon its previous dynamic rapprochement with Russia and recognize the obvious fact that without peace and security in Ukraine, there is no peace and security in Hungary either," he said .
According to the spokesperson, Viktor Orbán completely refused to support Ukraine.
"It's not preventing Hungary from taking part in the war, but, on the contrary, inviting Russia to continue its aggression in Europe. We count on Budapest to promote unity in the EU and NATO so that Russia ends its war on Ukraine. Russia must not be given more space to continue atrocities against the Ukrainian people and destroy European security," he declared.
In a video uploaded to his Facebook page on Tuesday, the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade refers to Péter Márki-Zay's Twitter message, which he sent to the President of Ukraine, stating that if the left won on April 3, they would immediately vote on the sanctions on natural gas and crude oil transport and would immediately begin arms shipments.
