Hungarian Minister Péter Szijjártó asked Zelensky to cease the threats, and the reaction of Ukrainian Minister Andrii Sibiha was condescending, escalating the diplomatic conflict.

After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky threatened Hungary regarding its energy security, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó requested an end to these threats. The response from Ukrainian Minister Andrii Sibiha was condescending, suggesting that Hungary should become energy independent. This confrontation was amplified by comments from a former supporter of Zelensky, who accused the president of blackmail and terrorism, demanding that Hungary declare the regime in Kiev as terrorist. This situation highlights the growing tensions in the relations between the two countries.
