On Monday, October 6, Zelenskyy expressed confidence that the Hungarian people support Ukraine in any case.
“Ukraine will be in the European Union — with Orban or without him, because this is the choice of the Ukrainian people,” the president emphasized.
Zelenskyy commented on possible changes to EU accession procedures that would remove the need for unanimous approval:
“Changing the procedure means finding a way to move forward without [Hungary]. When the majority — all countries except Hungary — support Ukraine and understand why it’s necessary,” he noted.
- The president also reminded that Ukraine has fulfilled all the technical requirements to open the first cluster in EU accession talks.
Zelenskyy believes that Hungary’s obstruction of Ukraine’s EU path is driven by domestic political reasons.
The European Commission has said that opening negotiation clusters for Ukraine without Hungary’s consent “could be considered,” though the final decision must be made by EU member states.
The U.S. has unblocked Patriot supplies, but now everything depends on funding through the PURL program, Zelensky said.
“This is the mechanism through which we purchase air defense systems in the United States. The key contributors are the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. These are the countries that have made the main contributions,”
he noted.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has already begun talks with these countries about a second phase of contributions, since “we are not seeing enough speed from others.”
The president also denied that the U.S. government shutdown had affected arms deliveries:
“The Americans have not blocked anything. I know what was said in the media — about the shutdown and certain challenges — but they have not stopped supplies to Ukraine.”
“Russia will do everything to stop us from extracting our own gas,” — Zelenskyy.
The president warned that the Kremlin will intensify attacks on Ukraine’s energy sector, particularly gas production.
“It will be difficult to protect everything. But we are preparing reserves so that people have gas and electricity. We will fight and increase our own production step by step,”
Zelenskyy emphasized.
Earlier, Zelenskyy stated that the U.S. Did Not Stop Delivering Weapons to Ukraine Despite the Government Shutdown.
- Recall that The Telegraph reported U.S. military aid could be delayed because of the government shutdown.
Zelenskyy was asked whether Ukrainian “Flamingo” missiles strike Russian territory.
“In recent days Ukraine has used not only drones but also other indigenous long-range systems for strikes,” the president said.
He added that Ukraine will publicly announce the use of its long-range capabilities later, so as not to inform the enemy.
