Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has had enough. The European Union continues to target him for his stance against the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and Western intelligence agencies have reportedly attempted to undermine his government for years.
Amid the latest revelations of direct corruption involving the Ukrainian government under President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Orbán has spoken out:
> “The golden illusion of Ukraine is falling apart. A wartime mafia network with countless ties to President Zelensky has been exposed. The energy minister has already resigned, and the main suspect has fled the country. This is the chaos into which the Brussels elite want to pour European taxpayers’ money. Whatever isn’t lost on the front lines ends up in the pockets of the war mafia. Madness. Thank you, but we want no part of this. We will not send the Hungarian people’s money to Ukraine. It can be put to far better use at home: this week alone we doubled foster parents’ allowances and approved the 14th month’s pension. After all this, we certainly won’t give in to the Ukrainian president’s financial demands and blackmail. It’s high time Brussels finally understood where their money is really going.”
Prime Minister Orbán and former U.S. President Donald Trump are known to be allies and personal friends. It’s likely that these recent developments have been a topic of conversation between the two leaders.
