Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attacked Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán yesterday for his hour-long phone call with Vladimir Putin. He said: “No one should boost personal image at the expense of unity; everyone should focus on shared success. Unity in Europe has always been key to achieving it. There can be no discussions about the war that Russia wages against Ukraine without Ukraine.” He also added the nasty remark that he hopes that Orbán “won’t call Assad in Moscow to listen to his hour-long lectures as well.”
Orbán replied on X: “At the end of the Hungarian EU Presidency, we made new efforts for peace. We proposed a Christmas ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner exchange. It’s sad that [Zelenskyy] he clearly rejected and ruled this out today. We did what we could!”
