Prime Minister Orbán’s meeting with the Georgian Prime Minister brought to the forefront Hungary’s solidarity with countries defending their sovereignty. Referring to Georgia’s firm stance on remaining neutral in the Ukraine conflict and resisting pressure from Brussels, Prime Minister Orbán praised the Georgian government’s position. “Their government is under attack from Brussels because it stands for peace, refuses to be drawn into war, stands up for its sovereignty, and proudly declares that their homeland comes first,” he stated.
Hungary, he continued, supports Georgia’s sovereignty not only in bilateral relations but also on the European stage. “We understand their situation deeply, and we consider today’s guests, led by the prime minister, to be true patriotic heroes,” Prime Minister Orbán said, emphasizing the shared values and experiences between the two nations.
The Hungarian and Georgian governments signed multiple cooperation agreements during the summit, underscoring their commitment to strategic partnership and mutual support.
Reacting to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s remarks, Prime Minister Orbán declared, “Hungary was openly and harshly threatened by the Ukrainians.”
The prime minister was unequivocal in his message. “The Ukrainians do not accept that decisions regarding Ukraine’s EU accession should be made by the Hungarian people in Hungary,” he said. “And they certainly do not accept a negative decision. That’s why they are threatening us, blackmailing us, and attacking us.”
In light of this, Prime Minister Orbán made a pointed recommendation: “We suggest to the Ukrainian president that instead of threatening and blackmailing, he should thank the Hungarian people.” His comments reflect growing tensions surrounding Ukraine’s EU integration process, which Hungary has been hesitant to support unconditionally.
