"Pathological disdain": the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine criticized Orban for the words about the war

Ukrainian diplomats stated - if Budapest really wants peace, then it should use its close ties with the Russian Federation. And not calling the US to stop supplying weapons to our defenders. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine responded to the statement of Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban that the war in Ukraine would end when the United States will cease to support the Armed Forces. The official message text is published on the website of the department.

"The statements of the Prime Minister of Hungary demonstrate pathological disdain for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, who oppose Russian aggression, as well as his own political myopia," the statement reads. According to the press service of the profile ministry, the defeat of Ukraine in the war with Russia, to which Viktor Orban indirectly calls, would lead to a direct threat to Russian aggression for Hungary and Hungarians. "The Hungarian leader should ask himself if he wants peace.

If the answer is affirmative, he needs to use his close ties with Moscow to stop aggression against Ukraine and bring troops," the Foreign Ministry has summarized. We will remind, at the end of December 2022, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban proposed his "formula of peace". He believes that the war in Ukraine can only end when the United States ceases to provide it with support in the form of financing and supply of weapons.
