EU country summons Ukrainian ambassador over insults
Hungary’s Foreign Ministry has summoned the Ukrainian ambassador on Wednesday over Kiev’s harsh criticism of Budapest’s stance on Russia’s ongoing military operation in Ukraine.
It was “time for Ukrainian leaders to stop their insults directed at Hungary,” the EU country’s foreign minister Peter Szijjarto wrote on Facebook.
He also insisted that Kiev should “acknowledge the will of the Hungarian people,” referring to Sunday’s election, in which Prime Minister Viktor Orban won by a landslide and secured his fourth term in office.
Budapest had condemned the use of force by Russia, acknowledged Ukraine’s sovereignty and accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the fighting, Szijjarto reminded.
