Hungary's prime minister is growing a belly, not an army.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is thinking about how to grow his belly, not how to build up the army.

According to RBC-Ukraine, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said this while speaking at a panel discussion at the Munich Security Conference.

"Mr. Ischinger (head of the Munich Security Conference Wolfgang Ischinger - ed.) said in an interview before the conference that as long as Ukraine protects Europe, the danger is not so great. If we speak frankly and a bit cynically, the situation today is plus or minus that. But look at what price," Zelensky said.

The president emphasized that it is Ukrainians who hold the European front.

"Behind our people are independent Poland and free Baltic states. There may be a sovereign Moldova. And even Victor alone can think about growing his belly, not about building up his army to stop Russian tanks from returning to the streets of Budapest," he said.
