In the video, Omelchenko said Ukrainian organisation KARMA, set up to liquidate Ukraine's enemies, did not need Orban's address.

"We know where he lives, where he sleeps, where he drinks beer or wine, where he smokes a shisha, where he goes and whom he meets ... unless he drops his anti-Ukraine position and stays an accomplice to Putin's war crimes, he should remember that KARMA never forgives anybody," the former MP and former officer of Ukraine's secret service said in the video.

"You cannot run or hide from KARMA and you cannot bribe it with billions ... Orban should think of his five children and six grandchildren," Omelchenko said.

Omelchenko also said it was a political decision whether to restart the Druzhba oil pipeline, but suggested that it should only be negotiated if the Hungarian opposition won the upcoming election, adding that he hoped it would so happen.

About Omelchenko: 

Hrihorij Omelchenko is a retired Lieutenant General of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) and a long-standing political figure who served as a Member of Parliament for nearly twenty years.

Throughout his career, he built a reputation as a fierce anti-corruption investigator, eventually earning the Hero of Ukraine title in 2010. He is perhaps best known for his involvement in high-profile probes, including the investigation into the murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze.

In more recent times, however, Omelchenko has shifted toward more radical and controversial rhetoric. By early 2026, he became a central figure in diplomatic friction between Ukraine and Hungary after making televised threats against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

He has also become a vocal critic of the current Zelenskyy administration, frequently claiming that the government is compromised by foreign agents and calling for a military-led overhaul of the state.

"KARMA" is a covert organization that Hryhoriy Omelchenko claims was established to eliminate "enemies of Ukraine" and monitor their personal lives, specifically targeting foreign leaders he perceives as anti-Ukrainian.

In early 2026, he asserted that this group operates as a "death squad" with detailed intelligence on the movements of figures like Viktor Orbán to ensure they "cannot escape" consequences for their political stances.
