Dmytro Kuleba responded to Orban's handshake with Putin and accused Russia of supporting Hamas. Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba commented on the meeting of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on "One Belt-One Way" in China. This was reported by France 24. In an interview, journalists were asked to respond to a recent meeting of Orban and Putin, during which the first shook the hand of the Russian head.

"I hope he was at least washed out and disinfected his hands after Putin's handshake," the minister replied. Kuleba called on "all parties, both in Israel and in Palestine", "avoid victims among civilians and respect the status of critical civilian infrastructure. " "We know better what war is," the minister added. In addition, Dmytro Kuleba accused Russia of supporting Hamas. According to him, on the eve of the attack, Hamas Ukraine observed the activation of Russian propaganda in Arabic.

"In political terms, Russia really benefits from the war in the Middle East," he said. Speaking of the support of Kiev by the United States of America, Kuleba noted that the war in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine are "not individual events". He expressed confidence that the support of the US, whether by lawmakers or the public, would remain adamant, despite the future presidential campaign in the United States.
