Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked controversy with his recent statements regarding the war in Ukraine, claiming that it is unclear who started the conflict and questioning the necessity of support for Kiev. His comments have been met with outrage from Ukrainian officials, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha recalling Hungary's history from 1939, when it collaborated with Hitler. Hungary, along with Slovakia and the Czech Republic, has decided not to participate in the funding program for Ukraine, highlighting a skeptical position towards economic support for the country. Orban also mentioned a threat from Putin, who warned that Russia would react if the EU uses frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine. The Hungarian Prime Minister challenged the narrative that Ukraine is a victim of aggression, emphasizing that the situation is more complex.
