A new war on the horizon?
Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky have been clashing for years, over a number of issues, but most importantly, because Budapest does not support Kiev’s membership in either NATO or the EU.
Orbán has repeatedly said that Ukraine does not fulfill the conditions for membership in the organizations, and furthermore, its participation would ‘bring the war’ to Europe.
These stances, needless to say, caused Orbán to be seen as an enemy of Zelensky’s regime – to the point where Kiev’s ruler, having repeatedly offended the Hungarian president, now half-jokingly threatens Orbán’s life in public.
“We hope this one person [Orban] in the EU will not block €90 billion aid. Otherwise, we will give this person’s address to our armed forces” — Zelensky casually threatening Hungary’s Orban https://t.co/t3MpMUXEzm pic.twitter.com/zXYkAsPjWg

The reason for the recent escalation is energy.
Orbán and his government accuse Ukraine of cutting the supply of Russian oil flowing through the Druzhba (‘Friendship’) pipeline to Hungary and Slovakia, threatening their energy security.
Ukraine says that the pipeline was destroyed by a Russian strike – again, insanely suggesting Russians would destroy their own pipelines, like they did when the Nord Stream was destroyed.
Orbán says that Kiev is doing this to send Budapest into a crisis, and help the Globalist opposition, pro-Ukraine, to win the upcoming elections.
So, as a retaliation, Orbán is blocking the €90 billion EU Aid – a money that is a lifeline for the Ukrainian war effort.
After Zelensky callously threatened Orbán, the Hungarians reacted fiercely.
This is beyond every limit. This is Ukraine. This is the kind of “culture” coming from Kyiv. And this is the man Brussels admires and the country they want to fast-track into the European Union.

President @ZelenskyyUa‘s threats are not about me. He is threatening Hungary.
Unfortunately for him, he cannot stop me from protecting Hungarian families.

A doubt lingers: if Zelensky attacks Orbán, will Hungary invoke Article 5?
