Zelensky confronts Viktor Orban at Javier Milei inauguration

Volodymyr Zelensky confronted Viktor Orban for a “frank” conversation on Sunday amid a row over EU membership for Ukraine and more funding for its war effort.

The meeting on the sidelines of the inauguration of Javier Milei, Argentina’s newly-elected president, came just days before a European Union summit set to decide on membership talks for Kyiv and additional military aid.

Footage showed the Ukrainian and Hungarian leaders having an animated conversation in the Argentine parliament in Buenos Aires.

Guys, they're not going to fight against each others. The thing about Orban being cornered and Zelensky in an offensive position only means that the Ukrainian President was able to find Orban in a place where he can't leave without talking to him. Don't read too much into it. Orban is not scared of Zelensky and Zelensky is not scared of Orban.

The location in the room where Orban got pinned down is quite interesting. Its in a far corner, against the wall, next to an inaccessible exit being blocked by seats. I would love to see the footage from the moments preceding their interaction.

Orban vs Zelensky is skill based matchmaking

[guyh.]

One man’s a Leader the other is a Dark State Stooge.

I thought Milei and Zelensky were going to French kiss for a minute there.

[azmagaref]

What happened? Was he trying to steal his wallet!?

Why did Telegraph not show Orban's chat with Milei for longer? Could not show both of them smiling together?
The Telegraph is biased.

as a hungarian myself watching this, I find this incredibly funny

Flying 20, 000 km to the opposite side of the globe for the show. Priorities straight.

"His Hungarian counterpart"? Come on! Zelensky is a head of State (president), while Orbán is a head of government (prime minister). They're not counterparts. Zelensky's Hungarian counterpart if President Katalin Novák. Time to get serious about journalism!

[trevorsutherland]

Zelensky has that "crazy eyes" look on his face when talking to Orban.

[radiator]

There seems to be no interpreter next to them, I wonder what languages they spoke in.

When an aggressive bagger stops on the way to work. Give me money!

[toragodzen]

I've been waiting for punch, Volodymyr ...

[mukkah]

Seeing the top down angle for the first time is NEAT a.f. He literally cornered the can o' spam lmfao

[ghassanzahran]

He really knows how to get people to like him

[rumeunner]

Green screen zilensky has made a personal fortune out of the conflict.

[NorbertKasko]

Watching this two important words came to my mind: Chabad-Lubavitch.

[opz]

I want to hear what they where talking about

[itube]

Why is he even there? Frankly that goes for both of them.
