Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said again that Ukraine is not sovereign and minimized the accusations that Hungarian recognition drones have violated Ukrainian air space, writes AFP, quoted by Agerpres.
“The fact that two, three or four Hungarian drones have passed or not the border is not a problem,” said Viktor Orban, in a podcast moderated by his party spokesman, according to France Presse.
The Hungarian prime minister says he “tends to believe his minister” of the defense Kristof Szalay-Bobrovniczky, who said that the accusations of Ukraine “are totally unfounded.” “Let's say they flew a few meters in the country, and what if?”, Added Orban.
Kiev should rather worry about “Russian drones at his eastern border,” the Hungarian Prime Minister said. “Ukraine is not an independent and sovereign country, we are the ones who keep it on the waterline, so they should not behave as if it were,” said the head of the Hungarian government. If “the West decides tomorrow not to give him any more forint, Ukraine would collapse,” he added.
This is not the first time Orban does not deny the sovereignty of Ukraine. He has said several times, over time, that Ukraine is not a sovereign country since he cannot fight against Russia without the support of the West.
The statements of Viktor Orban come in the context in which Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski said on Friday that Ukraine suspects Hungary that he had been making recognition drones in his air space. Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto responded to the accusations, saying that Zelenski “begins to lose their minds.” Later, the Ukrainian army published two maps on Saturday night with what it says is the route of a drone that violated the air space.
