Orban attacks Tusk over Ukraine policy and domestic failures, sparking a heated EU rift.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk of being a pro-war figure whose policies are failing, blaming Tusk for diverting attention from domestic struggles amid declining approval and a lost presidential election. Orban claimed Tusk’s criticism of Hungary stems from political desperation and accused him of being subservient to the EU, while welcoming Zbigniew Ziobro, a former Polish justice minister facing corruption charges. Tusk countered by defending Ukraine support as essential and condemning Orban’s stance as undermining democracy. The exchange highlights growing rifts over EU policy, national sovereignty, and the war in Ukraine.
