“Hungary intends to hold a referendum on Ukraine’s future EU membership. And I would be interested in seeing the results of an EU referendum about the membership of the Orbán-lead Hungary.”

Hungarian FM Szijjártó says Poland’s government wants killing and destruction
The Polish prime minister and foreign minister are “trampling on the rule of law” in Poland while “lecturing us about what’s in Europe’s interest”, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said on Saturday.
“They think: continue the war; we think: peace. They think: killing and destruction; we think: create peace,” the minister said in a post on Facebook. He added that US President Donald Trump’s efforts towards peace had a “serious chance” of succeeding.
“It’s a shame that the Polish government, along with the rest of Brussels, is trying to block peace talks. It’s this attitude in Brussels that is isolating the European Union. The vast majority of the world, led by the United States and including Hungary, wants peace, while 26 member states of the European Union, including Poland, voted on Thursday to continue the war…” he wrote.
