The leaders of Ukraine and Hungary are at it again, starting a verbal battle, and the content of their arguments continues to escalate. According to the information, this verbal battle was ignited by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, who severely criticized Hungary's position in a media interview, claiming that the current government is overly "pro-Russian." Orbán immediately retaliated fiercely: "We don't owe you anything, and we will never support Ukraine joining NATO or the EU!"

Zelenskyy has recently started attacking Hungary for not supporting Ukraine

According to "European News," Zelenskyy launched a fierce attack on Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán during an interview, mentioning two points: First, he accused Orbán of hindering Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, which is a way of expressing a "pro-Russian" attitude towards Putin in Moscow.

Second, Zelenskyy reiterated his previous stance: Ukraine is protecting Europe from Russian threats, but Ukraine has never received any aid or support from Hungary. European countries must provide support to Ukraine, and Hungary should also support Ukraine's efforts to "protect Europe."

Zelenskyy has always believed that Ukraine is not only fighting for itself but also for Europe. If he cannot stop it, Russians will reach the EU's borders and threaten the whole of Europe. Therefore, Europe has the obligation to support him and should allow him to join the EU. Among them, because Hungary is a neighbor of Ukraine, Zelenskyy believes that Hungary should support him more, because Ukraine has always been blocking Russia's "threat" for Hungary!

However, compared to before, Zelenskyy's position on aid has slightly retreated. Before Trump took office, Zelenskyy not only believed that Europe had the obligation to help him, but also thought that the entire Western world, including the United States, had the obligation to assist Ukraine. Moreover, they not only should allow him to join the EU, but also to join NATO. Therefore, he once spoke very rudely to the US. Biden, due to "great power competition" and ideological factors, tolerated Zelenskyy's arrogance, but Trump was not as easy to deal with as Biden. He was not interested in helping Ukraine and wanted to withdraw at all times. When Zelenskyy first went to the White House to meet Trump, he suffered a big loss. Later, he was forced to change his attitude towards the US.

Orbán angrily retorts Zelenskyy: We don't owe you anything

Because Trump no longer provides free aid to Ukraine, Zelenskyy placed his hopes on Europe. In addition, Trump firmly refused Ukraine's entry into NATO, so now Zelenskyy's main goal is to "join the EU."

Orbán shares a similar ideology with Trump, advocating "Hungary First," and is strongly opposed to aiding Ukraine. Moreover, if Ukraine joins the EU, most of the special aid from Brussels will flow into Kyiv, which would severely harm Hungary's national interests. Therefore, Orbán has always opposed Ukraine's accession, and a recent survey in Hungary showed that 95% of respondents clearly opposed allowing Kyiv to join the EU.

Now facing Zelenskyy's "moral blackmail" accusations, Orbán also did not hold back, retaliating with three points: First, Ukraine has not protected Hungary. Hungary has never made any demands on Ukraine, and will not in the future. Hungary's national security is guaranteed by Hungary and NATO, which has nothing to do with Ukraine, so Hungary owes Ukraine nothing!

Second, Hungary not only doesn't owe Ukraine, but has also given a lot of money and weapons support. So far, they have provided 200 million euros in aid to Ukraine, and have been continuously providing energy and electricity.

Hungary clearly opposes, Ukraine's accession is in doubt

Third, Hungary will not support Ukraine joining the EU. If done so, it will not only bring the war into Europe, but also transfer a large amount of taxpayers' money from Hungary to Ukraine. Orbán finally emphasized: Ukraine can be a partner of the EU, but it will never become a formal member!
