Ukrainian FM Summons Hungarian Ambassador over Ad Campaign
In the latest sign of deteriorating relations, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned Hungarian Ambassador to Kyiv Antal Hejzer in response to an advertising campaign portraying Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar as the ‘Hungarian Zelenskyy’. Ukraine’s EU accession is increasingly becoming a central topic in the electoral campaign for Hungary’s 2026 parliamentary election.
Hungary and Ukraine have entered another diplomatic conflict after Kiev officially protested Budapest’s stance against Ukraine’s EU accession. Balázs Orbán, the prime minister’s political director, said this had triggered a “Ukrainian revenge campaign,” but Budapest will continue to stand by the opinion of the Hungarian people – even if Kiev doesn’t like it.
The campaign portrays Péter Magyar and Volodymyr Zelensky as politicians hatching from eggs.
