Caption: Orbán Downplays Hungarian Drone Incursion into Ukraine, Questioning the Country’s Sovereignty. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán dismissed Kyiv’s claims that Hungarian reconnaissance drones violated Ukraine’s airspace, questioning the country’s sovereignty. Orbán said Ukraine is not fully independent and that its survival depends on Western aid, adding that a few Hungarian drones crossing the border was “no big deal”. Relations between Budapest and Kyiv have soured as Hungary blocks Ukraine’s EU accession while maintaining energy ties with Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered an investigation into the suspected drone incursions targeting industrial sites. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó rejected the allegations, accusing Zelensky of an anti-Hungarian obsession. Orbán argued that Ukraine should focus on drones along its eastern front with Russia rather than those allegedly crossing from Hungary. Gergely Gulyás, overseeing Orbán’s office, announced Hungary would introduce “reflective measures” against Ukrainian news portals in retaliation for blocking Hungarian outlets. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between Hungary and Ukraine amid the broader Russia-Ukraine war. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
