Wednesday, October 8th saw Valérie Hayer MEP of the Renew Europe group accuse Prime Minister Viktor Orbán of Hungary of sending Hungarian drones into Ukrainian airspace.
The official debate during a plenary session in Strasbourg was supposed to focus on Russian UAV incursions into European Union airspace and the need for a unified EU response. Instead, Hayer used the opportunity to attack the Hungarian government.
Previously, these serious allegations were repeated in a hypothetical argument put forward by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—who advocates turning his country into a military drone production hub—and have since been discredited.
