Kyiv will adequately respond, promised the Foreign Minister.
“We know this. These are really not friendly messages about our country. We will react mirror. We have tools for this. We still have the potential of reaction, serious potential, and they also understand this very well … We will not endure any statements and actions that are directed against Ukrainian national interest, against our people, our state or head of state. We will react sharply and hard,” said Sibiga.
The tonality of the last post of Siyyarto about the President of Ukraine “crosses the limits”, so he was also forced to respond, Sibiga pointed out. Hungary, in his opinion, turns into a “disagreed footman”, which lobbies the interests of the Kremlin in Europe.
