The words of the Hungarian speaker caused sharp criticism from the Ukrainian authorities.
Szijjártó, in turn, recalled that while "tens of thousands of people" have been working in Hungary in recent months to "help Ukraine and its people," Ukrainian politicians are constantly talking about Hungary in an unacceptable tone.
“They provoke us, lie and try to slander us.
They never expressed gratitude out loud.
Based on all this, Laszlo Kever is absolutely right, even if the Ukrainians are outraged by this, ”Szijjarto wrote on social networks.
His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
In early May, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was included in the database of the Ukrainian resource "Peacemaker", where he was called an "anti-Ukrainian propagandist."
During a speech on the results of the parliamentary elections, Orban added the Ukrainian state leader Volodymyr Zelensky to the list of rivals.
