Sikorski to Orban: Incident with drones in Poland proves that you should have condemned Russian aggression
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski comments on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's statement calling the Russian drone attack on Poland unacceptable.
He said this on the social network X, Censor.NET reports.
"No, Viktor. This incident proves that you should get off the fence and condemn Russian aggression. We ask you to unblock the allocation of EU funds for defense, approve tougher sanctions against the aggressor and withdraw your veto on the start of Ukraine's EU accession negotiations," he said.
Orban called the violation of Poland's territorial integrity unacceptable and said that it proves that Hungary's policy of "calling for peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine is reasonable and rational."
