Menczer: Ukraine punishing Hungary for pro-peace stance
Ukraine is "brutally attacking Hungary for its pro-peace stance", Fidesz communications director Tamas Menczer on Tuesday, referring to a decision to shut down a pipeline carrying Russian crude to Hungary.
“They’re trying and destroy those who support peace, using every possible means… It is dishonest, unacceptable and illegitimate,” the ruling party’s spokesman said in a video posted on Facebook.
Menczer cited a Ukrainian MP as saying that Hungary’s resistance towards arms shipments to Ukraine “must be broken”.
“We are being punished for being pro-peace; this time our energy security is under attack. It is quite possible that it was not Ukraine’s idea alone; they may have been assisted by pro-war Brussels circles or even US Democrats,” he said.
“Everyone should be prepared: Hungary won’t let it go,” he warned.
