Hungary’s foreign ministry has summoned Ukraine’s ambassador, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Wednesday.
In a Facebook post, Szijjártó said Hungary had a clear stance on the war in Ukraine. “We have condemned military aggression, stand by the sovereignty of Ukraine, have accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees and delivered hundreds of tonnes of food and other donations.”
At the same time, Hungary’s government sees the security of Hungarians as a priority, he said. “This is not our war, we want to and shall stay out of it,” he said.
The government will not risk the peace and security of Hungarians, and so will not “deliver weapons or vote for energy sanctions” against Russia,
he said.
Hungarians have given their “clear and easily understandable” judgment of the issue at Sunday’s general election, where ruling Fidesz won a landslide victory, he said.
“We can see that Ukraine would have had another outcome in their interest, and we do not discuss that: they put the interests of Ukrainians first, and we do the same for Hungarians,” he said.
However, “statements on fledging totalitarianism, Hungary being complicit in war, or the decision of Hungarians being lamentable are unacceptable,” he said.
“It is time Ukrainian leaders stopped insulting Hungary and acknowledged the will of the Hungarian people,”
he said.

It is reasonable what Szijjarto is asking BUT Orbán should never have included the Ukrainian President in such a negative manner in his victory speech. It was very very wrong and totally uncalled for. Many countries saw that and have singled out his negative comments. It really didn’t and doesn’t look good. Very poor taste. Mr Zelensky is seen as a hero to many. The atrocities from Russia (which have been verified as Russian aggression) are unspeakable.
It’s comments like that which no doubt contributed to the disgraceful vandalism of the photo exhibition of Ukrainian war survivors in Budapest.
Is Mr. Szijjártó handing back his shiny Russian Order of Friendship anytime soon ? I’m sure Lyubov Nepop will be truly impressed …
Was the Russian Ambassador summoned, yet? Or does he only come over for coffee and cake?
Zelensky have asked Israel to send weapons. Guess what? Israel said” NO”.
Also,”Zelensky has a Nazi soul”, some of the elected people said in the Knesset. Pro Moscow rally held in Tel Aviv. Also, Israel National ,Apr,6,2022 in Mykolaiv Oblast the pictures are fake. Also, it looks like there is no freedom of the truth telling in this site.
