Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has asserted that remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding the Russian-operated Druzhba oil pipeline amount to “coercion and threats.” Moreover, the pro-Kremlin leader attempted to intimidate Kyiv, warning that such actions “will lead to enduring repercussions.”
Key Points:
- Hungary and Ukraine are experiencing renewed tensions in their diplomatic relations.
- Kyiv cannot disregard the pro-Russian stance of Orbán’s administration.
Orbán Resorts to Threats Once Again
The controversial Hungarian leader claimed to have endured an eventful weekend.
For instance, Viktor Orbán brazenly misrepresented Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as having openly threatened Hungary.
He alleged that Ukraine targets the Druzhba pipeline “because we oppose their EU accession,” arguing this validates Hungary’s political decisions.
Shamelessly, the pro-Russian figure added that “coercion, bombardments, and intimidation will not secure EU membership.”
Zelenskyy’s statements will result in long-term consequences, Orbán publicly warned.
Critically, Ukraine’s Drone Forces unit, led by commander Robert Brovdi (“Magyar”), currently plays a pivotal role in influencing Hungary’s official stance.
This unit has repeatedly struck pumping stations along the Russian-controlled Druzhba pipeline.
We have consistently advocated for amicable ties between Ukraine and Hungary. Now, the fate of “Druzhba” hinges on Hungary’s position, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently emphasized.
