We won't have a trojan horse in our castle! - Lithuania kicks Orban after election defeat

"Kestutis Budrys, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, accused outgoing Hungarian PM Viktor Orban of being a 'trojan horse in our castle', ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg on Tuesday. "it's a great development in Europe with the election results in Hungary. We are now really looking forward to use this momentum. Now we won't have the Trojan horse in our castle, in our room, and it's a good thing," he said. Earlier EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas suggested there could be 'positive decisions tomorrow' on unblocking the 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine - following the departure of Orban. Orban vetoed the loan amid a row over the Druzhba pipeline from Russia. Hungary and Slovakia claimed Ukraine had halted supplies for political reasons, while Kiev alleged that it was 'damaged' by a 'Russian strike'. The outgoing Hungarian PM was defeated in this month's elections by opposition leader Peter Magyar - in an election marred by claims of both EU and Ukrainian interference."
