A diplomatic conflict between Poland and Hungary has exposed deep divisions within the European Union over handling relations with Russia amid its ongoing war in Ukraine. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, criticized for his pro-Russian stance, accused Poland of hypocrisy for allegedly conducting business with Russia while condemning Hungary's relations with the Kremlin. This accusation sparked a strong response from Poland's Deputy Foreign Minister Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski, who questioned Hungary's loyalty to NATO and the EU. Bartoszewski suggested Orbán should leave Western alliances if he aligns more with authoritarian regimes like Russia. The tensions highlight Hungary's growing isolation within the EU due to its divergent foreign policy, including its friendship with China. These developments come as Hungary continues to block EU funds aimed at supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.
