00:08after his country said it would block an emergency loan for Ukraine, as well as sanctions against Moscow.

00:20Tomorrow we will mark the fourth anniversary of war in Ukraine
00:24and we hear that Hungary plans not just the benefit of sanctions package but also the loan for Ukraine as
00:31non-Hungarian European.
00:33I want to ask you why your country hates Ukraine so much and loves Russia so much.
00:40We don't hate Ukraine. The problem is that the Ukrainian state hates Hungary
00:43and the Ukrainian state carries out an anti-Hungarian political approach for the last ten years.
00:49Ukraine behaves in a very hostile manner towards Hungary.
00:55Please ask the Ukrainians why they have stopped the oil deliveries to Hungary.
01:00Ask the Ukrainians why they put the security of energy supply of Hungary into risk.
01:08A Ukrainian correspondent then asked him why Hungary continues to buy Russian energy.
01:13Sierto snapped back, claiming it is Hungary's sovereign right to decide where to purchase energy from.
