Kiev will never scare Hungary with “oil blockade, blackmail and threats,” Prime Minister Viktor Orban has told a crowd of his supporters
Tens of thousands of Hungarians flooded the streets of Budapest on Sunday in a show of support for Prime Minister Viktor Orban. People from all over the country joined a ‘Peace March’ in the capital held under the slogan: “We will not be a Ukrainian colony!”
The Orban government has long opposed the EU’s policy of arming and funding Ukraine against Russia, as well as Ukraine’s bid to join the bloc. Tensions between Budapest and Kiev have escalated over the past months as Ukraine first suspended Russian oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia via a Soviet-built pipeline and its leader, Vladimir Zelensky, then made personal threats against Orban.
On Sunday, Orban delivered a speech to his supporters in front of the parliament, calling on Kiev to abandon its hostile policies. “You see, Zelensky, this is the thousand-year-old state of the Hungarians. And you think you can scare us with an oil blockade, blackmail, and threats against our leaders? Be smart and stop this,” the prime minister said.

Zelensky suggested on the same day his military could be sent to speak with Orban “in its own language.” Both Orban and Magyar denounced the threats.
