Orban criticized Zelensky after his statements

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky should not behave disrespectfully with Hungary. This was announced on June 13 by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, quoted by the ORIGO information portal.

"Ukraine receives help from Hungary because we immediately started accepting people, we let them work here, we give them jobs, we feed their children, we educate them, we ensure their safety, and we have never asked them to thank us for this. But talking about disrespect after that is too much. And Zelensky needs to understand this," Orban said.

According to him, Hungary will not get down on its knees in front of Ukraine. In addition, the politician stressed that the Ukrainian authorities have no right to demand approval from Hungary for joining the European Union (EU).
