Kelemen Hunor condemned Zelenski's statements regarding Orban: "When the Prime Minister of Hungary is threatened, it is a message addressed to the entire Hungarian nation."

Kelemen Hunor, the leader of the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), reacted vehemently to the statements of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who subtly threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Hunor emphasized that such threats are unacceptable and must be condemned, as they exceed the limits of political debate. He stated that Zelensky's message is not directed only at Orban, but at the entire Hungarian nation, stressing that threatening rhetoric does not help de-escalate existing tensions.

Zelensky's statements came in the context of criticizing Hungary's blocking of a 90 billion euro aid package, and the Ukrainian leader suggested that, if the blockage continues, he could take measures against Orban. Hunor emphasized the importance of constructive dialogue instead of threats.
