Kovacs: Hungary ‘won’t assist Zelensky in political showdowns’
Hungary has no intention of assisting President Zelensky when it comes to Ukrainian political showdowns, Zoltan Kovacs, the state secretary for international relations and communications, said on Facebook on Saturday.
Kovacs was ommenting on information on the website of the Ukrainian SZBU security service suggesting that Petro Poroshenko, the former president, was barred from travelling abroad because he would have met with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The SZBU said that if Poroshenko met Orbán, this would make him “a tool” of Russian security services.
Kovacs said such “political showdowns” also demonstrated that Ukraine was not ready for European Union membership.
