The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, does not consider his Hungarian counterpart Péter Szijjártó and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to be pro-Russian politicians. They support the territorial integrity of our country, noted the Ukrainian minister in a Telex interview.
Kuleba was asked whether he considers Orbán and Sijarto to be pro-Russian politicians because of their statements.
"If this were to be confirmed, it would mean big trouble for both the EU and Hungary. But I think they are pro-Hungarian. If they were pro-Russian, then Peter would not have declared at the current meeting that he respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine," said the Ukrainian minister.
