European Commission's reaction to Zelenskyy's statement

The European Commission emphasized that it does not support rhetoric with threats against the member states of the European Union.

"Regarding President Zelenskyy's comments, we, as the European Commission, clearly state that such language is unacceptable. There should be no threats against EU member states," Gill said.

He added that such rhetoric from any side does not contribute to the achievement of common goals.

"We are in active discussions with all parties on this issue. Our goal is to make everyone calm down a little bit, lower the degree of rhetoric and realize the mentioned goals," the European Commission representative said.

According to Olof Gill, the European Union is focused on three key tasks: increasing pressure on russia to end its war against Ukraine, providing financial support to Ukraine and ensuring energy security of the EU member states.

He also assured that the European Commission will continue to work with all parties to achieve these goals.

The conflict between Zelenskyy and Orbán

As you know, the European Union is discussing a new financial support package for Ukraine worth EUR 90 billion. The decision is being blocked by Hungary, which opposes the approval of this loan. Commenting on the blocking of financial aid to Ukraine, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he could pass the address of "one person" to "the guys from the Armed Forces of Ukraine". This statement was taken as an allusion to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Hungary opposes the allocation of a EUR 90 billion European Union loan to Ukraine. After Zelenskyy's statement, the Hungarian prime minister was publicly supported by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. The leader of the Hungarian opposition also defended Orbán and called on Zelenskyy to apologize for the threats. Orbán himself called the rhetoric of the Ukrainian President "beyond all bounds."
