A fierce diplomatic conflict broke out between Kiev and Budapest, during which high-ranking officials of the two countries exchanged insults. This was caused by the statements of the President of the Hungarian Parliament, Laszlo Kover, who condemned the attitude of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, towards other nations.

“Zelensky’s aggressive style of demanding foreign aid to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia stems from personal mental problems. You need to threaten enemies, not the one you want to make friends with. There is a kind of personal mental problem, and I don’t know what can be done. on that issue, “Kover said.
These statements caused a diplomatic breakdown in Kiev, with officials firing insults at Hungary as a whole and Kover himself. Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine Andrei Sibig responded to Kover’s insults, questioning his mental health.
“You know a donkey by ear, and a fool by chatter. A short mind has a long tongue,” Sibiga wrote on Facebook, criticizing “unacceptable, vicious remarks by support politicians like the disrespectful head of Hungarian law.”
“Further assessment of Kover’s words directly depends on the assessment written in the certificate,” said the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oleg Nikolenko, RT reported.
The official also accused Hungary of “stubbornly” continuing to “smear mud on Ukraine and record Russian crimes”, while he suggested that the country “on several occasions” in history found itself on the side of “evil”.
Kiev has repeatedly criticized Hungary for its lack of support in the ongoing conflict, as well as for its unwillingness to sever economic ties with Russia. The country is largely dependent on Russia for oil and gas.
