Hungary has publicly accused Ukraine of meddling in its upcoming parliamentary elections, alleging the Kyiv government is supporting the opposition. In a statement, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned that Ukraine would not be allowed to join the European Union for the next 100 years, citing Hungary’s opposition to the move as a “threat to its own people”. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sîbiha responded by condemning Orbán’s remarks, saying the Hungarian leader is a danger to the Hungarian community both in Hungary and abroad. He also accused Hungary of allowing a “parliament in Hungary” to refuse EU accession for Ukraine. Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, in turn, said Ukraine’s involvement in the elections is aimed at securing a pro‑Brussels stance on the war, but that the Hungarian government will protect its sovereignty. The exchange reflects the broader tensions over Ukraine’s EU accession and its role in the ongoing war with Russia.
