Budapest, January 28 (Xinhua) — Hungary must prepare for further Ukrainian interference in the Hungarian parliamentary elections and defend its sovereignty, Hungarian Foreign and Trade Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Wednesday.
In a statement published on social media, P. Szijjártó reported that the Ukrainian side had summoned the Hungarian ambassador to Kyiv earlier that day. According to the minister, Hungarian officials were not surprised by either the ambassador's summons or the content of the conversation they had with him.
The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry noted that Ukrainian officials have again criticized Hungary's plan to launch a nationwide petition to ascertain public opinion regarding the use of Hungarian funds to finance Ukraine.
P. Szijjártó added that the Ukrainian side has not provided an explanation for either Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's "offensive" remarks about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán or the comments made by the Ukrainian Foreign Minister. Ukraine has denied the allegations.
On January 26, Orbán announced that Hungary would take diplomatic action following statements by Ukrainian political leaders, which he called "insulting and threatening." Following this, the Hungarian side summoned the Ukrainian ambassador for an explanation.
