Orbán vs Zelensky: Dispute Explained

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán responded in a post on X to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who sharply attacked him at the Munich Security Conference, saying that Ukraine cannot become a member of the European Union.

“Dear Volodymyr, thank you for another pre-election speech in support of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. It will greatly help Hungarians to see the situation more clearly. But there is one thing you do not understand correctly: this debate is not about me and it is not about you. It is about the future of Hungary, Ukraine and Europe. That is why you cannot become a member of the European Union,” Orbán wrote in X.

In a scathing attack on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, with whom he has had several public spats, Volodymyr Zelensky told the Munich Security Conference: “Only Viktor can think of how to grow his belly, not how to grow his army to prevent the return of Russian tanks to the streets of Budapest. Our unity is the best defense against Russia’s aggressive plans.”
