Slovakia’s foreign minister calls out Hungarian counterpart over war comment

Foreign Minister of Slovakia Miroslav Wlachovsky  has criticized his Hungarian colleague, Peter Szijjarto, over the latter’s comment regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war.

That’s according to Wlachovsky’s tweet, seen by Ukrinform.

“Dear Péter, please don’t tell what other people think before you ask them. EU consists of 27 countries. I don’t recall any debate when we said the war will continue for 4 years,” the tweet reads.

The top diplomat stressed that it’s Russia that poses a problem, not the European Union.

“War can stop tomorrow,” the minister wrote.

Earlier, during his speech, the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Peter Szijjarto, said that the “European Union thinks that there will be war in Ukraine for another four years. How many people will die in four years? How many Hungarians will die in four years? And how much more devastation will be created in four years that someone will then have to repair?"
