Hungarian ambassador is summoned to Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry over Orban's anti-Ukrainian rhetoric

This was reported on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

"It was emphasized to the Hungarian diplomat that the anti-Ukrainian rhetoric that has been voiced by the Hungarian leadership for a long time is absolutely unacceptable and damaging to Ukrainian-Hungarian relations," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

In addition, Budapest was also urged to stop "this negative trend" in order to avoid "irreparable consequences" for bilateral relations, and emphasised Kyiv's readiness to develop constructive good neighbourly relations with Hungary.

• On December 24, 2022, Orban said that Ukraine would be able to fight as long as the United States continued to support it.

• Speaking to journalists, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban compared Ukraine to Afghanistan and called it a "no man's land."

• On January 31, Austria and Hungary had agreed not to send weapons to Ukraine. The countries' assistance will be limited to the humanitarian sphere and will primarily concern refugees.
