Zelensky Makes “Childish” Attack on Orban
The dispute followed comments Zelensky made on Saturday, during which he mocked Orban’s physique while asserting that Ukraine is defending the entire European Union from Russia.
“It’s Ukrainians who are holding the European front… And even one Viktor can think about how to grow his belly, not how to grow his army to stop Russian tanks from returning to the streets of Budapest,” Zelensky said.
The remark drew applause from much of the pro-Ukraine and pro-EU audience in Munich. However, critics contended that such language was inappropriate for a “serious” political leader addressing a major international forum.
In comments to RT, Kasonta characterized Zelensky’s conduct as that of a “desperate man,” suggesting he was importing elements of his former comedy career into high-level diplomatic settings.
“He’s trying to take his tricks from the comedian past into the public fora like the Munich Security Conference – turning this previously very important gathering of Western leaders or world leaders discussing important issues related to world security into a farce,” he said.
Kasonta further argued that displays of this nature risk undermining the event’s credibility among international observers.
“This security conference is observed around the world and countries outside of the Western hemisphere are just scratching their heads and wondering why instead of discussing important issues related to this war-torn world that we are living in currently, we are simply allowing leaders like Mr. Zelensky to turn it into a big circus,” he said.
