Hungary considers Zelenskyy's remarks about Orbán and Ukraine's Armed Forces a "threat"

The Hungarian government has described a remark made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as an "open threat" after Zelenskyy said he hoped that "a certain person" (an allusion to Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán) would stop blocking a €90 billion EU loan.

Details: Kovács stated that the "threats and blackmail" from Zelenskyy had "gone far beyond every acceptable limit".

Quote: "When someone threatens to give a person's address to Ukrainian soldiers simply because they do not support another €90 billion weapons package, that is not diplomacy, it is an open threat. This is outrageous."

Details: Kovács said that Hungary will not give in to blackmail.

Background:

• Zelenskyy said earlier that he hopes "a certain person" in the EU (presumably Orbán) will stop blocking the €90 billion EU loan for Ukraine, otherwise he might give that person's contact details to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "They can call him on the phone and speak to him in their own language," he said.
• Hungary has been blocking the allocation of a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine.
• A few days ago, Zelenskyy said he hoped Orbán's party would lose the upcoming elections, as this would make it possible to normalise relations with Hungary.
