According to him, Budapest, together with U.S. President Donald Trump, will seek a deal with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and oppose sanctions that could harm Hungary’s energy security.
“The EU Commission has once again acted as Ukraine’s commission, speaking in favor of Kyiv over the interests of its members,” Szijjarto wrote.
on August 30, he said that Hungary opposes Ukraine’s accelerated membership in the EU. According to the diplomat, Budapest will not allow Kyiv to start negotiations on European integration, as this will harm Hungarian agriculture. Szijjarto added that if the “Ukrainian mafia” entered Hungary, it would destroy public security.
