Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sibiha has blasted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, calling him a threat to the Hungarian people. Sibiha said Orban’s recent statements - accusing Ukraine of meddling in Hungary’s parliamentary elections and promising that Hungary will block Ukraine’s EU accession for the next 100 years - are hostile. The minister added that Hungary’s stance is a barrier to Ukraine’s EU membership and that Orban’s actions endanger both Hungarians living in Hungary and those in Ukraine. Sibiha’s remarks come after Hungary accused Ukraine of interfering in its elections and after the Hungarian foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, defended the government’s position in a recent tweet. The Ukrainian minister’s comments highlight tensions over Ukraine’s push for closer ties with the European Union and its support for the war in eastern Ukraine. The story underscores a diplomatic rift between Kiev and Budapest, with implications for Ukraine’s EU aspirations and the broader European security landscape.
