Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski criticized Hungary on April 14 for being the only EU member state lacking "moral clarity" on Russia’s war against Ukraine.
After the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting earlier that day, Sikorski noted that many foreign ministers called for stronger sanctions against Moscow in response to recent attacks on Ukrainian cities including Sumy and Kryvyi Rih.
"But we know we have one country – Hungary – that lacks the moral clarity we have in light of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s attacks. He (Putin) talks about peace while bombing civilians and killing children,” he said, as reported by the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
Sikorski also condemned Hungary’s continued blocking of military aid for Ukraine and delaying EU accession talks, saying that trying to negotiate with Budapest is "like talking to a brick wall."
Hungary maintains positive relations with Russia in contrast with other EU members.
On March 26, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto visited Moscow to discuss continued economic cooperation between the two countries.
