Ukraine pursues policy motivated by the hatred of Hungarians, says Hungarian FM Szijjártó
Ukraine is currently Hungary’s enemy as it is trying to undermine the country’s security operations, energy security and sovereignty, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Tuesday, adding that the government would not allow the country’s secure operations to be put at risk.
Hostile actions against Hungary
Szijjártó told the Truth Hour podcast that the “Brussels-Kyiv coalition” was working to bring about a change of government in Hungary “and their candidate is the Tisza Party” because if Tisza came to power they would fulfil their expectations, in contrast to the current sovereign, patriotic leadership.
According to a ministry statement, Szijjártó said Ukraine was constantly pushing through Brussels decisions that were harmful to Hungary, citing the ban on Russian oil and natural gas imports and sanctions against the Russian nuclear industry as examples.
Such steps, he said, were “hostile actions” against Hungary. Meanwhile, Szijjártó said Europe was suffering from war fanaticism, with Brussels currently in the process of preparing its twentieth package of sanctions “and making increasingly wild proposals.“

“Now they want Rosatom, Gazprom, and Lukoil to be added to the sanctions list, Russian energy companies with which cooperation is critical for Hungary in terms of both our energy security and maintaining low utility costs,” he warned.
Since 2015, Ukraine had been pursuing a “policy motivated by the hatred of Hungarians,” severely restricting the rights of minorities, Szijjártó said. “Unfortunately, it is no exaggeration to say that during the Soviet era, Hungarians in Transcarpathia had more rights in terms of using their mother tongue.”
“And this is the country Brussels wants into the European Union. This is the country the Tisza Party wants to support … they had a survey where the majority of their supporters […] were on Ukraine’s side,” he noted.
Cheap Russian energy sources required
Regarding the government’s utility price cut scheme, Szijjártó said: “Because we buy cheap Russian crude oil and natural gas, utility costs for families in Hungary are lower than in countries where energy sources are more expensive than in Russia.”
It’s been a very cold winter Peter, get off your cross, we need the wood.
The country under attack that has suffered roughly 100,000 dead with millions displaced as refugees is Ukraine not Hungary. The Fidesz government has no business calling Ukraine an enemy when Ukraine has a Russian knife at its’ throat as it fights for survival. There is no country in Europe lower than Hungary right now that would do such a thing. There are no politicians more immoral right now in Europe than Szijjarto and Orban who take advantage of a country which is in existential crisis to score political points for their own benefit. They have no morality whatsoever.
