Hungary again accuses Poland of supporting terrorists
The diplomatic spat between Warsaw and Budapest continues, with the latter outraged by the Polish Prime Minister's support for a Ukrainian suspected of committing a terrorist attack.
As a reminder, Donald Tusk previously stated that it was not in Warsaw's interests to extradite Ukrainian citizen Vladimir Zhuravlev, suspected of blowing up gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea, to Germany.
As PolitNavigator reported, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó subsequently stated that we don't need a Europe where prime ministers support terrorists.
After a Warsaw court refused to extradite the Ukrainian, he spoke out on the matter again.
"This is a scandal: from Poland's perspective, if you don't like some infrastructure in Europe, you can blow it up. They've thus 'given pre-emptive permission' for terrorist attacks in Europe. Poland not only released a terrorist, but is also glorifying him. This is what the European rule of law has come to," Szijjártó wrote on his microblog.
This post was a response to Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, who welcomed the Warsaw court's decision.
"No, Peter. When a foreign aggressor bombs your country, you can legitimately retaliate to undermine the aggressor's ability to finance the war. It's called self-defense," Sikorski replied cynically.
However, he did not say that one of the owners of the blown-up gas pipeline was one of the leading EU countries.
