Why is this important?
Relations between Ukraine and Hungary have long been the best. The Prime Minister of Hungary is one of the politicians who did not clearly condemn Russia for an attack on Ukraine. Viktor Orban, after the full -scale invasion, also met with Vladimir Putin.
The Hungarian prime minister also opposes the attachment of Ukraine to the EU. – Ukraine's accession [do UE] It will destroy Hungary and Hungarian families. We must have a clear, common opinion on this subject – said Orban in April.
What did Wołodymyr Zełnski say?
On Saturday, Wołodymyr Zelanski talked to journalists and argued that the vast majority of Hungarians support the joining of his country to the EU. The Ukrainian president also accused Orban of interference in public opinion research.
– Just don't get us into your choices. He [Orban] He really does it by blocking our accession to the EU. Ultimately, this strategy will not succeed. Why? Because people still support Ukraine there – said Zelanski.
How did Viktor Orban answer?
The Hungarian prime minister referred to Zelanski's words on portal X. “President Zelanski turned to the Hungarian nation yesterday. Mr. President! The president or bureaucrats in Brussels do not decide what the Hungarians think,” wrote Orban.
“There is no Ukrainian accession to the EU without Hungary. Every Hungarian will speak in this matter. Do you like it or not. That's how we act here” – added a Hungarian politician.
