Hungarian opposition politician urged Zelenskyy to explain statements
The politician emphasized that foreign leaders should not make statements that could be interpreted as pressure on Hungarian citizens or politicians.
"No foreign head of state can threaten anyone, any Hungarian. Neither the outgoing Orban government nor the future 'Tisza' government. Therefore, I urge the Ukrainian president to explain his words, and if he really said that, to retract them," Magyar stated.
The politician also emphasized that issues of Hungary's domestic policy must be decided exclusively by Hungarian citizens.
Zelenskyy's statement
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously expressed hope that no one in the EU would block the allocation of 90 billion euros in aid to Ukraine.
"We hope that one person in the European Union will not block the 90 billion and Ukrainian soldiers will have weapons. Otherwise, we will give this person's address to our Armed Forces of Ukraine, to our boys. Let them call him and communicate with him in their own language," the president noted, likely referring to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The Hungarian government viewed such words as an "open threat." Hungarian government spokesperson Zoltan Kovacs wrote about this on his X account.
