Hungary and Slovak are such pathetic bullies, able to dish it out but not take it.

Not that I think Zelensky was right to vent his frustration like that, but the man is dealing with a fucking invasion and his allies are being stalled by russian cronies. Some anger is understandable.

Orban already said and did much worse against Ukraine. Orban's actions in the EU have real consequences on the war... Truly a scumbag of a politician, Hungarians should feel ashamed for electing him.

as I said in one of the other federated posts:

Utter bullshit that anybody would expect Ukraine to fix Russian pipeline supplying Russian allies and thus funding Russia's war against Ukraine.

Humans can't help but elect/allow imbeciles into positions of power.

I call it: now, because of the Iran war, they will shift the Ukraine support. We're moments before our leaders will pressure Ukraine "to finally accept peace, c'mon" in order to buy (more) oil and gas from Russia to ease the new energy crisis.

This is merely the beginning of "Zelensky bad". Probably they will also jump on that "ackchually, Zelensky is no democratic leader, as they had no election" bandwagon.

I got banned from the Reddit when I said something similar than Zelenskyy. I would personally punch Orban in his face if I could.

If I were religious I'd want him to go to hell

The is Zelensky is using words while Hungary is subjecting a large group of people to real violence, by withholding funding, and by cutting emergency power supply, which people in hospitals and in Kyiv desperately need. Threatening violence is bad, but here I understand.
