European Union criticizes Zelensky for threatening Hungary's Orban over blocked loan

The European Union said it was 'not acceptable' for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to threaten Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Zelensky had warned Orban against blocking a 90 billion euro EU loan package for Ukraine.

Hungary accused Zelensky of making a 'death threat' and told him to stop. Ukraine also accused Hungarian authorities of kidnapping seven employees of a Ukrainian bank in Budapest and issued a travel advisory against visiting Hungary.
