Andrij Sibiha, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, issued the above statement on the X-page of the X: He put out the title and cast of a Politico article, which gives Viktor Orbán’s opinion. The title is as follows: “And then what? Orban claims that spy drone penetration in Ukraine was not a big deal.” And in Lead, read: “According to the Hungarian Prime Minister, Ukraine is not an independent country and suggested to Kiev to pay attention to the eastern border.”
The good news is that Prime Minister Orbán has admitted that some drones did enter Ukrainian airspace from Hungary. @FM_Szijjarto, how is your tweet about https://twitter.com/FM_Szijjarto?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The Politico article quotes a podcast called Warrior Clock in English, in which the Hungarian Prime Minister said that Ukraine is not an independent and sovereign country, so it is not worthwhile to support financially.
But let’s say he would fly there a few meters. And then what? ”
– Politico quotes the Hungarian Prime Minister in connection with the alleged drone burglary.
It is important to put the statement in context: Viktor Orban basically talks about his opinion Ukrainian statements about drone flying are “dumb things” and that “believes to his ministers”, that is, no air violation occurred.
In other words, Viktor Orbán is that he does not admit, but denies the news of the drone burglary – this is clear from the entire text.
The comment “Ukraine should pay attention to the eastern border” was that the Hungarian Prime Minister has repeatedly stressed that Hungary, Poland and Slovakia did not want to attack Ukraine. The prime minister explains Csorbát, who has fallen in the independence of the neighboring country, that fifth of Ukraine is under Russian occupation and the rest depends on the support of the West.
This part of what was said is not mentioned by either the Politico article or Sibiha.
„The good news is that Prime Minister Orbán admitted that some drones had penetrated Ukrainian airspace from Hungary ” Sibiha writes, commenting on the title of Politico article. He then marks Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, who was held accountable for writing that it was not true that a Hungarian drone flew into the Ukrainian airspace.
Sibiha then accused the Hungarian Prime Minister by spreading Russian propaganda And he writes that “he would be happy to hear his thoughts on sovereignty and independence” if Hungary has detached Russian energy carriers according to President Trump’s request.
The relationship between Hungary and Ukraine has never been rosy, but has been radically deteriorated in recent months. Recently, one of the main controversial questions was that the Ukrainian army has repeatedly attacked Hungary’s key Russian oil and gas pipelines, including friendship oil pipelines. The incident was followed by a ban on Ukrainian military leaders, followed by similar measures and then disabling Hungarian news portals by Kiev.
