Hungarian Prime Minister Orban said that the Ukrainian administration had crossed the line, stating: “We were not seeking conflict; however, for days Hungary has been in the crosshairs. Nevertheless, neither threats from the president, nor statements from the foreign minister, nor pressure from extremist armed groups will deter us from defending Hungarian interests.”

Emphasizing that Hungary will not send money to Ukraine, Orban said: “This money is better spent on Hungarian families than sitting in the bathroom of a Ukrainian oligarch. We will not allow a ban on the import of Russian oil and natural gas — without them, it is neither possible to reduce energy costs nor to provide affordable energy for Hungarian families. Furthermore, we will not allow Ukraine to be pushed into the European Union within two years at the cost of violating EU law — that would also mean importing the war.”

Stressing once again that Hungarians will decide Hungary’s future, Orban said:

“As long as there is a patriotic government in Hungary, decisions on these matters will not be made in Kyiv or Brussels. This is well known in Ukraine as well. That is why they want a new pro-Ukrainian government in Budapest, and the threats never stop.”
