“More respect for Hungary”: Orbán writes letter to Zelensky

Orbán stated that over the course of four years, Zelensky had failed to adopt the position of the sovereign government of Hungary and the Hungarian people regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“For four years, you have been working to drag Hungary into the war between your country and Russia. During this time, you have received support from Brussels and secured the support of the Hungarian opposition,” he wrote.

Orbán said that Zelensky, Brussels, and the Hungarian opposition are coordinating their efforts to bring a pro-Ukrainian government to power in Hungary.

He also mentioned the Druzhba oil pipeline, which is critical to Hungary's energy supply, and then accused Zelensky of blocking it.

“Your actions are contrary to Hungary's interests and jeopardize the secure and affordable energy supply of Hungarian families,” he said.

In the letter, Orbán called on the Ukrainian president to change his anti-Hungarian policy.

"We, the Hungarian people, are not responsible for the situation in which Ukraine finds itself. We sympathize with the Ukrainian people, but we do not want to participate in the war. We do not want to finance military operations and we do not want to pay more for energy," he said.

He called on Zelensky to immediately resume the operation of the Druzhba oil pipeline and refrain from any further attacks on Hungary's energy security.

“More respect for Hungary!” he said.
