Ukrainian mayor to Viktor Orbán: “We’ll get you, you bastards!”
Boris Filatov, mayor of Dnipro, took Orbán’s statement to heart. The politician was commenting on the Hungarian PM’s statement in which he compared Ukraine to Afghanistan and called it a no man’s land. Besides, that was not the first statement of Viktor Orbán which caused scandal.
“First of all, bitchface, no man’s land is not ours, it’s yours. We have been living here for thousands of years, we are not from the Urals,”
the mayor of Dnipro begins his message on his Telegram page. According to index.hu, Boris Filatrov said “it takes a special talent to be hated everywhere from Romania and Slovakia to Serbia and Ukraine. The Treaty of Trianon is, after all, a punishment for your historical meanness.”
“Get out from under the umbrella of EU and NATO, and we’ll take you bastards out in three days. F**king bastards. No, not the Hungarian people. The bastards are the ones in power over there.”
Viktor Orbán: deliberately damaging Hungarian-Ukrainian relations?
PM Orbán’s disparaging remarks have also prompted a referral to Hungary’s ambassador in Kyiv. Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said the Hungarian prime minister’s disparaging statements about Ukraine were totally unacceptable. He said Hungary is deliberately damaging Hungarian-Ukrainian relations.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman was reacting to what Viktor Orbán said behind closed doors, when he hosted a closed-door meeting of foreign journalists at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium. In the long run, Kyiv cannot win despite all Western help. The Russians regularly start wars weakly, but then, they correct errors and become unstoppable. Therefore, Ukraine’s successes are in vain. The prime minister said he believed that Russia’s goal now was to turn Ukraine into an “ungovernable wreck”, and that it had succeeded.
“It is now like Afghanistan. No man’s land,”
the prime minister said of Ukraine, according to a reporter for The American Conservative.
As a result, Ukraine summoned the Hungarian ambassador to Kyiv. He had to answer why Viktor Orbán thinks Russia aims to make Ukraine an ungovernable pile of debris.
The step was also commented by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó. “The consequences of war are that thousands of people die and whole regions of the country become desolate. This is why Hungary wants peace and an immediate ceasefire instead of arms transfers. This has been Hungary’s clear position since the beginning of the war,” he said. Hungary does not want to get involved in the war, neither in words nor in deeds.
“No man’s land” was not the first scandal that day
According to hvg.hu, from the 15 foreign journalists in the closed-door meeting, someone asked the prime minister if he wanted Hungary to stay in the EU. “Definitely not!” he said, adding that the country has no choice, because 85 percent of the exports are within the EU.
Later, the text was amended to say that while it is personally painful for Orbán that Hungary is a member of the European Union because of the constant harassment from the EU, there can be no question of remaining a member because Hungary’s economic well-being depends on it.
