Hungarian foreign minister: Brussels ‘sharpening tongues on peace mission’
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó expects “a political volley fire” at a meeting of his European Union counterparts in Brussels on Monday.
Ahead of the meeting, Szijjártó said on Facebook that “the foreign affairs bureaucracy in Brussels and the leaders of some EU countries have been sharpening their tongues on our peace mission out of their frustration and jealousy and because their ill-advised strategy has been revealed” over Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s meeting the presidents of Russia and China, as well as former US President Donald Trump.
Szijjártó noted that since those talks were held the Swiss foreign minister had met his Russian counterpart, the US and Russian defence ministers had also held talks, while Trump had also spoken with Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader.
“Up with the armor and get ready for a (political) volley fire …off we go to Brussels, where my foreign minister colleagues are waiting, [in the] EU Foreign Affairs Council,”
he said.
