Sibiha Slams Szijjártó for 'Disgusting' Reporting to the Kremlin from EU Meetings.

Andriy Sibiha's Reaction

According to TSN.ua: Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiha has publicly condemned his Hungarian counterpart Péter Szijjártó over allegations that Szijjártó regularly passed sensitive details about internal European Union discussions to Moscow. Speaking at a press conference, Sibiha stressed the gravity of the accusations, calling Szijjártó's conduct 'shameful' and 'revolting,' and urging a formal investigation into the matter.

Sibiha described Szijjártó's actions as 'obsequious reporting to Russian handlers,' expressing outrage that a fellow EU minister would undermine the bloc from within. This sharp rebuke highlights Kyiv's growing frustration with Budapest's perceived alignment with Russian interests, especially amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Kaja Kallas's Stance

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also weighed in, stating unequivocally that

“all European ministers must work for Europe, not for Russia”

The incident has raised alarms not only about bilateral ties between Ukraine and Hungary but also about the potential ripple effects on European security and unity. As tensions between Western Europe and Russia persist, any minister's actions that appear to favor Moscow could erode trust among allies and complicate the EU's ability to forge a cohesive foreign policy going forward.
