Peter Magyar’s Friend Attacks Viktor Orban on Ukrainian Television

After Viktor Orban negotiated with both the American and Russian presidents for a ceasefire and peace, it appears that not everyone welcomes the prospect of an approaching agreement. Magyar Peter’s Ukrainian allies, Roland Ivanovich Tseber, identified as a spy, and Krisztian Skirjak, a figure with a murky background, launched a coordinated attack against the Hungarian Prime Minister: first on social media, then through the Ukrainian state media, where videos emerged in which the two men criticize the Hungarian government and Viktor Orban personally. Tseber has been banned from the European Union, yet he is still given space on influential Ukrainian channels.

He then listed what he called non-negotiable principles: Ukraine’s territorial integrity is inviolable, aggression must not become profitable, and no decision can be made that signals to totalitarian regimes that borders can be rewritten by force.

Ellenpont points out that these slogans have not brought Europe any closer to peace for long  years.

The portal recalls that 

Krisztian Skirjak from Bucha was previously another Ukrainian associate and host of Peter Magyar. His connections are at least as murky as Tseber’s, and his videos have taken on an increasingly radical tone. In his latest performance, wearing a bizarre costume and speaking in broken Hungarian, he sang a song mocking Viktor Orban’s statements.

"I have become so confused by the Hungarian Prime Minister’s statements that I was forced to write a song about it. Because music keeps us going in difficult times, stabilizes emotions, and helps us not lose our sanity," Skirjak said.

He than criticized Viktor Orban's statement that Ukraine has no chance and resorted to complicated metaphors: "It is strange to hear that the person who once believed in miracles now claims Ukraine has no chance and compares it to an alcoholic, while likening the EU to the pirits supplier who keeps this alcoholic supplied."

According to Ellenpont, the video is more laughable than serious, yet the article also points out that two figures with Ukrainian ties mounting a coordinated attack is not a reassuring sign, especially at a moment when the Hungarian Prime Minister is working at the forefront of international diplomacy to bring the war to an end.

The portal concludes that this does not appear to be coincidental at all, but rather part of a communication operation aimed at weakening Hungary’s pro-peace position precisely when that position carries its greatest international significance.
