Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is grateful to God that between Hungary and There is no enmity with Russia. This is how Orban responded to an open letter from former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko.
“I thank God that the country with which you are currently in conflict is not an enemy of Hungary or the Hungarian people, and we do not intend to change this,” Orban said on the social network X.
Yushchenko, in a letter to Orban, urged him to “stop.” He noted that politics is “not only numbers, benefits or gas, but also values.” The former president of Ukraine believes that Orban is “betraying” Ukraine and “the memory of his own people who know what Soviet tanks are on the streets of Budapest.”
In response, Orban stressed that Ukraine has no right to put pressure on Hungary or impose its conditions on it. He asked Kiev to accept that Budapest would not send him “no money, no weapons, no soldiers.” Hungary wants to continue to be a friend of Ukraine, but will not participate in its military conflict, Orban said.
He wished Ukraine that the conflict with the Russian Federation “would not end with the fatal weakening of the Ukrainian state” and asked to convey to Vladimir Zelensky that he would achieve nothing with blackmail and threats.
“Please explain to your president that the state terrorism with which he blew up the German Nord Stream gas pipeline will not work against Hungary,” Orban said.
