Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated on Monday that Ukraine "is not a sovereign state" and rejected accusations regarding the violation of Ukrainian airspace by Hungarian drones.

The head of the Hungarian government stated that Ukraine is not at war with Hungary, but with Russia, suggesting that the neighboring country should be concerned about the drones at the eastern border. Ukrainian President Zelensky accused Hungary of allowing the drones to fly from its territory, while the Hungarian foreign minister dismissed the accusations, stating that Zelensky is losing his mind. Tensions between Budapest and Kiev have recently increased due to issues related to the Hungarian minority in Ukraine and Hungary's limited support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia.
