Equal rights for minorities in Ukraine is very important to Hungary.Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Budapest was ending support for Kiev on international issues due to a 2017 Ukrainian law that limits the rights of Hungarians. The announcement comes as Ukraine’s support in Eastern Europe wanes, with Poland halting all weapons transfers to Kiev after President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Warsaw.
Speaking to the country’s legislature on Monday, Orbán took aim at a 2017 Ukrainian law that limits where the Hungarian language can be spoken. “They want to transform (Hungarian schools) into Ukrainian schools, and if that does not work, they want to close them,” he said. “We do not support Ukraine in any issue in the international scene until it restores the laws that guarantee the rights of Hungarians.”
After a US-backed coup in Kiev in 2014, a nationalist government rose to power. Under Zelensky and his predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, Kiev has adopted a series of laws attempting to eliminate Russian culture in Ukraine. However, those laws have impacted other minority groups in Ukraine, including Poles and Hungarians. https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/budapest-threatens-to-pull-support-from-kiev-for-ukrainian-ethnic-laws-oppressing-hungarians/

Nothing like an arrogant beggar to make you feel just a wee bit less supportive.

At this moment, it would have to be Zelensky. His constant 'gimme tanks, gimme missiles, gimme money', qua 'called home to Jesus' type declarations are wearing pretty thin.

Zelensky messed up in Canada. He honored a Ukrainian Nazi who was in Himmler's SS that killed thousands of Jews and Poles. Zelensky is just about finished because the US government will shut down on Sunday and this will effect aid to Ukraine.
