In his letter, Mr Orbán wrote that for four years Zelenskyy has been unable to accept the position of the sovereign Hungarian government and the Hungarian people regarding the Russia–Ukraine war.
“For four years, you have been working to force Hungary into the war between your country and Russia. During this time, you have received support from Brussels and secured the backing of the Hungarian opposition,” the Prime Minister wrote.
He added that they could also see that Zelenskyy, Brussels, and the Hungarian opposition were coordinating efforts to bring a pro-Ukraine government to power in Hungary.
“In recent days, you have blocked the Friendship oil pipeline, which is critical to Hungary’s energy supply. Your actions are against Hungary’s interests and endanger the secure and affordable energy supply of Hungarian families,” he stressed.
Therefore, Mr Orbán called upon President Zelenskyy to change his anti-Hungarian policy.
“We, the Hungarian people, are not responsible for the situation in which Ukraine finds itself. We sympathise with the Ukrainian people, but we do not wish to participate in the war. We do not want to finance the war effort, and we do not want to pay more for energy. I urge you to immediately reopen the Friendship oil pipeline and refrain from any further attacks on Hungary’s energy security. More respect for Hungary!” Mr Orbán wrote.
