It took @ZelenskyyUa’s extraordinary moral clarity to call out Orban’s shameful cozying up to Putin

This is exactly why we are fighting our hearts out to unseat him. Hungary deserves so much better than the lone protector of a war criminal in the EU

Orban & his mouthpieces attacked Zelensky, saying “have you no shame.” Orban is “protecting Hungary’s interests,”“peace in our country” and “low energy prices”— they aregue.

None of it is true. His actions serve Putin’s interests, not Hungary’s. Here’s why👇
How could it be in Hungary’s interest to totally isolate ourselves in the EU and NATO? To head to Vucic (Putin’s last friend in Europe) instead of joining Central European PMs to Kyiv?
How could it serve peace in our country to allow Russian military transit, but not EU allies’ weapons transit to Ukraine— while every single EU member commits to the opposite?
How could it serve Hungarian households to blame the energy crisis on Brussels— while it is Moscow jacking up prices? Why isn’t Orban banging on the table for an EU-level #PriceCap on Russian gas, to push back together against Gazprom’s extra profits?
How could Orban be promoting peace while his media is the single biggest source of Kremlin war propaganda in the EU?
Orban has been Putin’s Trojan horse in the EU for over a decade. He undermined EU and NATO efforts to deter Putin. Fellow leaders should have delivered the address @ZelenskyyUa just did and called him out for it long ago.

Thousands protest at Hungary’s public broadcaster MTVA, fed up with Orban’s vast media machine spreading Kremlin talking points & disinformation about the #UkraineWar

Here’s a thread with examples👇

Dear EU, this undermines all efforts to counter Putin’s propaganda @EUvsDisinfo

The EU banned Sputnik and RT— but here’s a “security expert” on Hungary’s public broadcaster comparing Zelensky to Hitler

2

Again, Hungary’s taxpayer-funded public broadcaster (not a small fringe outlet) repeats Putin’s genocide lie
