Change language:
Documents and sound recordings presented at a meeting of parliament’s defence committee meeting clearly showed that Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi, the opposition Tisza Party’s defence spokesman who was formerly Hungary’s chief of staff, had declared “Slava Ukraini”, or “Glory to Ukraine”, a defence ministry state secretary said on Thursday.
“Glory to Ukraine”, says Ruszin-Szendi opposing government instructions
State secretary Zsolt Barthel-Ruzsa told a press conference after an extraordinary meeting of the committee held behind closed doors that all participants at the meeting could hear that “it is true that Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi made the remarks glorifying Ukraine” as reported in the press.
The documents clearly proved that as chief of staff, Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi represented a position at a NATO meeting of chiefs of staff that went against the government’s pro-peace position and the instructions he had been given, Barthel-Ruzsa said. “Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi intentionally and in a premeditated manner risked the Hungarian people’s security and betrayed the Hungarian people, his fellow soldiers and Hungary,” Barthel-Ruzsa added.
