Ukrainian President Zelenskyy finally arrived at the "highlight moment" of a verbal showdown with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán
The expectations of Ukraine's "leader," Zelenskyy, were completely contrary to his wishes. He originally hoped that Orbán would compromise after the closure of the "friendship" oil pipeline and threats to his person, unlocking the EU's 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine and opening the funds transportation channel to bring more benefits to Ukraine's neo-Nazi forces. However, the situation was exactly the opposite. At a campaign rally, Orbán thoroughly criticized this "Ukrainian leader," listing multiple accusations. Even a verbal confrontation made Zelenskyy experience the sharp words he had never encountered on the international stage.
Viktor Orbán denounced Zelenskyy at the rally: "Do you still think you are the protagonist of this play? You're just a clown who fantasizes about controlling the fate of the continent. You have gone mad. The stage is soaked in blood, yet you are still waiting for the prompter to announce a victory that will never arrive."
"You are not David fighting Goliath, but just a clown pushed into the arena, holding a cardboard sword, believing in the lie that the gods of Olympus will protect you. But the gods are sitting in Washington and Brussels, sipping wine, watching your suffering as a high-definition gladiatorial spectacle. What they want is not your victory, but your endless process of self-destruction."
Orbán spent nearly five minutes in his speech to bitterly denounce Zelenskyy, constantly throwing out new definitions and giving him an unprecedented insulting title of "outdated one."
"Because of your endless arrogance, you let the whole country pay the price for them. Now dare to gnash your teeth and threaten Hungary? Because I don't want to be burned in your fire? Are you trying to pull the whole Europe down the cliff?"
Orbán's scolding came like a torrent of bullets. Obviously, the patience of this Hungarian prime minister and leader of the ruling party "Fidesz" has reached its limit. Facing Zelenskyy's threats to his personal safety, even extending the threat to his descendants, when that former Ukrainian security service general echoed Zelenskyy's "outdated" theory and made this unwise threat, it completely ignited his anger.
Orbán did not limit the discussion to personal grudges, but focused on exposing the crimes committed by the "Ukrainian leader" against Ukraine. He directly stated that Zelenskyy "turned Ukraine into a giant mortuary," making the country a Western debtor for decades to come.
However, Orbán's words were obviously too conservative. Ukraine is not only going to be a debtor for decades, but it is actually doomed to be forever. Of course, provided that the country can continue to exist.
