Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky in a social media post on Thursday.
Strong Words from Orban to Zelensky
On Thursday (January 22), Viktor Orban published a post in which he addressed “the honorable president” Volodymyr Zelensky. “It seems to me that we will not be able to reach an agreement. I am a free man who serves the Hungarian nation. You are a man in a desperate situation, who for the fourth year in a row is unable or unwilling to end the war – even though the President of the United States has given him all possible assistance,” Orban wrote.
Orban stated that “no matter how much you flatter me, we cannot support your war efforts.” He added that Hungary would continue to supply electricity and fuel to Ukraine and support refugees from Ukraine, saying “Life itself will resolve the rest and everyone will get what they deserves.”
