Ukraine did not choose war. Legendary hockey player criticized scandalous statement of Orban

According to glavcom.ua: Legendary Czech hockey goalkeeper Dominik Hasek reacted to the scandalous statement of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. This is reported by 'Glavkom'.

Ukraine can choose war, but it cannot demand that we join it. The acceptance of a country that is at war into the EU would mean importing the war itself. Our people have spoken: no to Ukraine's EU membership!

Hasek replied to him.

To all citizens of Hungary (and others). Your prime minister is lying to you and the whole world. Ukraine did not choose war. Ukraine was attacked by Russia and is defending itself against an imperialist terrorist enemy to preserve its freedom. Treat your prime minister as a liar.

Dominik Hasek and his position

Hasek is the Olympic champion of 1998 and a two-time Stanley Cup winner. Experts consider him one of the best goalies in NHL history. He has been actively opposing the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in international competitions since the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine.

We remind that Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban has repeatedly opposed Ukraine's swift accession to the EU and blocked EU decisions on sanctions against Russia. He also believes that Ukraine's accession to NATO would lead to war with Russia and provoke World War III.

Ukrainian goalkeeper Dominik Hasek reacted to the statements of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, expressing support for Ukraine in its struggle against the imperialist terrorist attack from Russia. Hasek noted that Ukraine did not choose war but is only defending its freedom and territorial integrity. His vulnerable support for Ukrainian sovereignty looks even more significant considering his outstanding achievements in world sports.
