Instead of gratitude for Hungary’s consistent humanitarian support — electricity deliveries, fuel supplies, shelter for refugees — Ukraine’s officials have chosen threats, accusations, and open interference in Hungary’s domestic affairs.
Ukrainian FM Sybiha’s statement that Hungary’s prime minister is “a threat to the Hungarian people” is not just an insult. It is a declaration of contempt and open hostility toward a neighboring nation. He and other members of Ukraine’s government speak as if Hungary’s democratic choices were theirs to influence. When neo-Nazi extremists on their side like Dmitro Jaros echo this tone and demand a change of government in Budapest, the picture becomes unmistakable: Ukraine’s political class sees Hungary not as a partner but as a problem to be “solved.”
Despite these disgusting provocations, Hungary has remained the adult in the room. Budapest has kept its borders open to families fleeing the war, ensured the continuous flow of energy across the frontier, and consistently called for peace and negotiations. What we have refused — rightly — is to send Hungarian taxpayers’ money to underwrite a foreign state, to sacrifice cheap energy on the altar of ideology, or to import war through reckless political decisions in Brussels.
And now, as if on cue, Ukraine’s preferred Hungarian lackeys have stepped into the spotlight. Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party, celebrated in Ukrainian and Brussels media as a “fresh alternative,” openly signals that it would overturn Hungary’s pro-peace foreign policy. Its representatives hint at dismantling border protections, detaching Hungary from affordable energy sources, and backing Ukraine’s accelerated EU entry, even if that means bypassing the EU’s legal framework.
That is not diplomacy. It is submission.
The stakes are clear. The European Commission and its allies are pressing for Ukraine’s rapid accession, a move that most Europeans firmly reject. They speak of solidarity, yet ignore corruption, human-rights abuses, and the simple fact that the country is still at war. Brussels offers billions for Kyiv while lecturing member states on fiscal discipline. And some within Hungary — eager for applause from abroad — are willing to play along.
But Hungary will not. Hungarians have made it clear: Decisions about Hungarian lives will be made in Budapest, not in Kyiv or Brussels. We will defend our borders, affordable energy, peace, and sovereignty against pressure from any direction.
Insults will not shake this resolve. When others shout and threaten, Hungary answers with calm determination, because our loyalty is to our people, not to foreign agendas.
Whatever names they call us, Hungary will keep standing for what matters most: peace, dignity, and the right of a nation to decide its own future.
