"Vance stated, 'It's completely scandalous. You should never have a foreign head of government threatening the head of government of an allied nation.'"
"'You saw this back in 2016 where a lot of the American media said that it was a true scandal that the Russian government bought like $500,000 of Facebook advertisements. That's foreign influence,' Vance remarked."
"'What's not foreign influence is when the European Union threatens billions of dollars withheld from Hungary because you guys protect your borders,' he added."
US Vice President JD Vance criticized Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy's comments about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as scandalous. Tensions between Hungary and Ukraine have escalated, particularly regarding accusations that Kyiv is attempting to influence Hungary's upcoming elections. Hungary has blocked a significant EU loan for Ukraine, while Kyiv claims pipeline damage was due to a Russian drone attack. Vance also pointed out perceived media double standards regarding foreign influence in elections, contrasting past coverage of Russian interference with current EU actions against Hungary.
