The politician noted in his social networks that the Ukrainian military in the past "participated in the suppression of the Hungarian revolution of 1956."
“I also do not consider it appropriate that monuments are erected all over Ukraine to persons who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II.
Those persons who participated in the extermination of Jewish and Polish citizens.
Modesty and knowledge of history would be justified, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.
At the same time, he called on Filatov to respect other people, especially the head of the Hungarian government "for whom 3,060,706 Hungarians voted," since "respect can only be mutual."
According to the agency, earlier Filatov in social networks harshly criticized Orban for his statement in which he compared Ukraine with Afghanistan and called it "no man's land."
Later, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó explained Orban's statement about Ukraine.
