Dec. 27 () –
The Ukrainian authorities have assured this Tuesday that the last words of the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, supporting a ceasefire and a dialogue between kyiv and Moscow are an “indirect” way of asking for Russia’s victory in the war, as well as a shows his “pathological contempt” for Ukraine.
“The statements of the Prime Minister of Hungary show a pathological contempt for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, who resist Russian aggression, as well as his own political shortsightedness,” says a brief but forceful statement from the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In this sense, kyiv has warned that the defeat of Ukraine that Viktor Orbán calls for so much “indirectly” would only “lead to a threat of direct aggression from Russia towards Hungary and the Hungarians”.
“The Hungarian leader should ask himself if he wants peace. If the answer is yes, he must use his close ties with Moscow to stop his aggression against Ukraine and withdraw his troops,” the kyiv statement concluded.
The statement from Ukrainian diplomacy is a response to some statements by Orbán to the media in which he reconfirmed that Hungary is committed to a ceasefire and the immediate start of a peace negotiation between the two parties, also pointing out that Ukraine will only be able to keep fighting as long as the money and weapons from its partners in Washington continue to flow.
