Years of tensions between Hungary and Ukraine burst into public view, when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky castigated Hungarian leader Viktor Orban via video link as he spoke to a meeting of EU leaders.

Mr. Zelensky has frequently used his addresses to parliaments to criticize governments for failing to do enough to support Kiev--at times incurring the wrath of some in his audience. But his remarks Thursday, posted online later by the president’s office, were unusually personal.

“I visited your waterfront. I saw this memorial,” he said in remarks carried on Ukrainian television. “Listen, Viktor, do you know what’s going on in Mariupol? Please if you can go to your waterfront, and you will see how mass killings can happen again in today’s world. And that’s what Russia is doing today.”

Mr. Orban, whom officials described as sitting in the meeting listening to the remarks expressionless, didn't respond to Mr. Zelensky immediately. “Some countries again raised the issue of extending sanctions to energy, coal, gas and oil. In fact, the Ukrainian president himself…asked us to do the same,” he said.

Biden Mouth is spreading

Cant blame Hungary especially after lockdowns. People need to understand this is much more complex than media is letting on. UKR and RUS/UKR have been in a very long civil war since 2014. UKR killed more than 14,000 RUS/UKR This is not a black and white issue Its very compcated!

Russian thinker and philosopher Alexander Dugin Either Russia wins, or the world is wiped out with nuclear weapons... The domination of the West will end without return 

So Hungary is complicit, got it!

Presdant jernovesky Please decuss to Russian this is war not comedy ,why you fighting proxy war? This is not your war, western are joking with your country and peoples.Ukraine is not weapon testing field Please dont allow to destroy ur country NATO is fake

Hi Orban. Since you do only was 'best for Hungary' , not for Europe I will keep this in mind when I will be traveling thru Europe and spend my money Excluding visiting Hungary & leave my money anywhere but your country. Boycott travel to Hungary.

yet he didn’t mention _miniszterelnok relationship with RU mobster Semion Mogilevich ….

For those who are able to think outside the blocks, it is evident that Holochain is way more efficient than blockchain. For these people, now it is time to talk about superiority to centralized solutions such as Amazon Web Services. Web 3.0 is possible for the first time!

So Orban tells voters 'Hungary is not an independent country'

Am not sure Zelensky ‘forcing the hands’ of the Orban will bring any good. There’s already enormous amount of support with Arms, Tanks, Jets etc, make use of those. Ultimately, seek an end to the conflict, it’s only sensible. Your People cannot realistically recover from this.

Just a hungarian for those fellows hungarians: Orban is a traitor, a mere robber-murderer and those who votes for him are his companions-in-sin. (saying of an unknown hungarian, I am but a humble messenger)

Zelensky did well by telling him openly what he thinks. I pray they keep a close eye on his treacherous attitudes and less EU funds should go to his country, seeing the way he refused supply of arms to Ukraine through Hungary

Victor Orban is a dangerous personality in the group of EU. He is the eyes and ears of Putin in the inner corridors of EU,I don't trust him at all, look at the way he is governing, just as Putin in Russia. I always regret his country was accepted into the EU. Zelensky did well

Он уже не президент Украины

Interesting to see how the Russian propaganda machine is targeting the Reuters feeds pretty hard.

This comparison of the Putin and Zelenskyy horoscopes predicts that this war might last longer than we think,

500.000 refugees entered Hungary in 1 month (half of them via Romania), I can see them in the streets of my town (in Western Hungary). Ukraine should be grateful for our help. Zelenskiy wants a broader war, we are trying to remain neutral in this conflict.

Problem not with Orban. Elon Musk: I think idea of the White House and Biden to hand over Ukraine to Putin is full crazy, I was hoping we learned lessons with Hitler during the last war. bloodytrade

Zelensky = 🤡

Hungary is a problem...EU and NATO please note.. eu_eeas EUatUN CharlesMichel vonderleyen zoltanspox HungaryintheEU

I think KremlinRussia_E deceiving his fellow Russians into believing he was demilitarizing Ukraine has been exposed by ZelenskyyUa's efforts to appeal to surrounding nations for help with military aid! SENDINTHEJETS!

Demanding little git.

Zelensky quarreled with all his neighbors - Hungary, Belarus, Russia, there are mutual claims with Poland, not to mention domestic politics. He is an anti-Ukrainian politician, but the main thing is that it suits the United States.

Anyway he is getting so much weapons from everywhere. What does it matter.

ZelenskyyUa is like I was when I was ATTACKED by State Sponsored Involuntary Psychiatry I was getting ANGRY with people(friends & family) who would NOT help me. I guess they were saying 'not my war'. I made decision to STAND DOWN & surrender/retreat.(outnumbered) cc: CCHRInt

Zelensky the hypocrite...supporter and signatory of illegal occupations in other countries, but none to happy about it at home..he locked up his political opposition, banned media coverage, and claims he's a representative of democracy?

This man is out of mind. He means, I want fight if you are not with me so you are with Russia. A megalomaniac personality, Ukrainian Don Quixote.

Not a good idea to seperate the EU in good or bad guys. Europe's new Jesus may be a good actor but obviously doesn't have the slightest clue about the dynamic of power in Europa.

Hungarian elections next week. Probably 10 anti Orban news coming out everyday till then. Zelensky is a Biden puppet. Orban is good with Trump. For those wondering about the truth..

Time to punish Hungary.

Zelensky

Zelensky beggar should understand that Ukraine can only lie and spread misinformation. Then they also complain why no one is helping liars like them!

Please dont send these crooks any more American tax dollars. Alot of American people are still in poverty.

Hungary doesn’t want to be in war. But Zelensky going Orban?😳

An overly powerful Ukraine upsets Eastern European countries

Sane energy: A couple of days ago 'Antonio' was demonizing Polish's 'far right' government

Hungary’s President and his position of not backing up Ukraine is very telling and concerning.

War Monger Zelensky. Talk Peace and free the Ukrainian people. Live to fight another day

Isn’t zelensky just a puppet of Igor Kolomoisky and now the neo-Nazi elements shooting Russians in the knees and live streaming it on telegram? Why are we backing armed forces gleefully abusing prisoners and sharing it?
