JAKARTA - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Hungary is the only obstacle to Ukraine's membership of the European Union.
"We have to define everything as it is. Hungary is the only obstacle to Ukraine's membership of the European Union. Moreover, I believe that the Hungarian prime minister is a threat to his own people," Sybiha told the Ukrainian newspaper European Pravda, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Wednesday, January 28.
According to the minister, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is preventing Hungarians living in Ukraine from joining the "common European space."
On the same day, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Hungary's statement that Sybiha was hindering Kiev from joining the European Union was something that was completely true.
"The fact that Andrii Sybiha is not our friend, he hates us, he attacks us, is not new, so let's put that aside," Szijjarto said on social media.
"However, we fully agree with one sentence that the minister said in this interview: 'Hungary is the only obstacle to Ukraine's membership of the European Union.' This is absolutely true," he added.
He said that as long as Orban's government was in power, Ukraine would definitely not join the European Union because "Ukrainians would bring war to the European Union" and drag Hungary into it.
"The Hungarian government will not allow Hungarian money to be sent to Ukraine, farmers are suffering because of the poor quality of Ukrainian wheat, and the country has become a "stepping stone for the Ukrainian mafia," said Szijjarto.
