Ukrainian leadership has crossed a line 

“The Ukrainian leadership has crossed a line; we were not looking for a conflict, yet, Hungary has been in the crosshairs for days,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on Facebook on Wednesday. 

Mr Orbán started his post with a quote from the poet Sándor Petőfi: ‘But not our homeland!’  

He wrote: Neither the president, nor the foreign minister, nor extremist military groups will divert the government off the course of enforcing the best interests of the Hungarian people. 

He added that the government would not send money to Ukraine because it had a better place with Hungarian families than in the bathroom of a Ukrainian oligarch. 

He stated: They will not allow a ban to be imposed on the importation of Russian oil and gas because without it there is no reduction of household energy bills, and neither is there affordable energy for Hungarian families. 

“And we will likewise not allow Ukraine to be forcefully pushed into the European Union within two years, in violation of EU law, because by doing so, we would also import the war,” the Prime Minister wrote. 

“As long as Hungary has a patriotic government, these issues will be decided not in Kiev, nor in Brussels. They know this in Ukraine, too. This is why they want a new pro-Ukraine government in Budapest, and this is why they are threatening us at every turn,” Mr Orbán posted. 

“Petőfi has the answer,” the Prime Minister wrote, concluding his post.
