Orban's first reaction to Zelensky saying 'slap' Hungary PM at Davos | Russia | Ukraine | NATO | EU

A sharp war of words erupted at the Davos summit after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban “deserved a smack,” triggering a fierce backlash from Budapest. Orban accused Zelensky of crossing a line, refusing to pursue peace with Russia, and pressuring Europe into meeting Kyiv’s escalating demands. The clash comes amid claims that Brussels is preparing an $800 billion aid package and fast-tracking Ukraine’s EU accession, moves Hungary says it will strongly oppose.
