Szijjarto rejected the penetration of Hungarian drones into Ukraine
On September 26, Zelensky said that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had reported to him about incidents with drones on the Ukrainian-Hungarian border.
Zelensky added that he instructed to check all available data and "immediately report on each recorded fact."
President Volodymyr Zelensky is going crazy with anti-Hungarian sentiment. Now he even sees ghosts.

As a reminder, Danish authorities temporarily closed two major airports on the night of September 24 after drones were spotted in the sky. In Copenhagen, it was called a "hybrid attack." Similar incidents were recorded at other airports in the country.
On September 22, drone intrusions also forced the closure of Copenhagen and Oslo airports, causing flight cancellations and stranding thousands of passengers in the terminals.
