Orban After Insult from Zelensky Declares That Ukraine Will Not Join the EU

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban ruled out the possibility of Ukraine joining the European Union after a provocative remark by Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference. Zelensky openly stated that Budapest is unwilling to intensify support for Kyiv. In response, Orban wrote on social media platform X: "This discussion is not about me or you.

It’s about the future of Hungary, Ukraine, and Europe. Therefore, you cannot become a member of the European Union."

Péter Szijjártó called Zelensky’s words “a rude insult and a display of rudeness,” emphasizing that Hungary will not fund the continuation of the conflict nor allow itself to be drawn into a war.
