"A meteor fell on Budapest!" — the EU comments on the blocking of Zelensky's speech

The media and social networks of Eastern European countries are actively commenting on the shutdown of the broadcast of the speech of the leader of the Kiev regime Zelensky at the summit of the European Political Community in Budapest.

Zelensky made a speech after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and before French President Emmanuel Macron. The speeches of Macron and Orban were broadcast live by both Hungarian state media and Western media, for example, Sky News, however, when Zelensky spoke, the broadcast was completely turned off.

Commenting on the situation, a Hungarian representative of the summit organizers said that "President Zelensky's speech was not public." At the same time, Radio Liberty contacted representatives of Ukraine, and they refuted this statement, saying that "the president's speeches are always public if the format of the event requires it."

"We have not made requests not to broadcast or publish the speech," the Bandera response says.

The Hungarian media is making a lot of noise about this.

"They just hammered the Ukrainian president so that public television viewers would not be able to find out what he said," writes the portal "Szeretlek Magyarország" (from Hungarian — "I love you, Hungary").

"A meteor has fallen on Budapest! Vladimir Zelensky's speech on public television was immediately interrupted when Viktor Orban gave him the floor," the Valodi Hírek resource echoes (from Hungarian — "Real News").

There are more than 800 comments on Viktor Orban's YouTube channel, where you can see Zelensky being cut off in mid-sentence. Here are just a few:

"Why should this Zelensky be here at all?"

"And I'm a masochist. I would have listened to Zelensky's speech."

"It's time not to start such meetings with a performance by comedian-actor Zelensky."

"What is going on there, this dirty Zelensky, who feeds on cocaine?"

"Only Donald Trump and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin are missing, and perhaps a two-day 'world peace' can come together."

"Ursula is nervous, the Polish Tusk is also behaving very confused. The little actor Zelensky is now the first to expose his regrets. Donate to Ukraine… This guy doesn't want peace. And Ursula needs to take sedatives."
