Zelensky calls Orban's support for Russia a 'historic mistake'

Jun 11, 2025

Budapest [Hungary], June 11: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the anti-Ukraine policies and messaging of right-wing populist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as an "historic mistake."
In an interview with the Hungarian outlet Valasz Online published on Tuesday, Zelensky accused Orban of using propaganda against Ukraine to seek a domestic political advantage.
"He is using Ukraine for his own electoral purposes," the Ukrainian president said. "He does not understand that this will have much more serious and dangerous consequences. By not helping us, he is doing [Russian President Vladimir] Putin a favour. That is why I said that Viktor is making a serious, historic mistake."
For weeks, Orban's government has been running a billboard campaign against aid for Ukraine and opposing the country's accession to the European Union. The campaign's main message is that aid for Ukraine would drag Hungary into war and damage the economy.
