Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has effectively issued a death threat against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, declared at a public forum on Thursday in Sopron. "But Hungary cannot be blackmailed, no matter what threats are made," he said, adding that Zelensky had gone "beyond all limits".
"We must not let hatred, fear mongering reign in Hungary," Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said late on Saturday, referring to an incident earlier in the day, in which shots were fired at a volunteer activist of his ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat alliance in Szentendre, north of Budapest.
