I don't believe that our air force is capable of shooting down the plane that Russian President Vladimir Putin will fly to Hungary with. But why not try? Of course, provided that the Kremlin asks it to fly over our land. This was written on Facebook by former MEP from the UDF Alexander Yordanov, quoted by FOCUS.

"However, before we think about the best, it would be good if the government refused to provide a corridor for this flight. Poland and Romania will certainly do the same. So the ruler of the Kremlin will have to fly for a long, long time to get to Budapest. According to the specialized publication Air Live, the route can reach 5 thousand km, which increases the flight time by 3 hours. Most likely, it will bypass the Caspian Sea, Iran, Turkey, the Mediterranean Sea, Montenegro and Serbia to land in Budapest.

A truly long flight, but not because the high-ranking passenger feels like traveling a lot (he is old after all!), but because he has stepped on the onion and the International Criminal Court has issued an order for his arrest. Vladimir Putin is accused of crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine, including the illegal deportation of Ukrainian citizens, including many children. This is true for the children. They were kidnapped from their homeland to be turned into janissaries.

The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry does not need to wait for a request from Moscow to say "NO". It must say it now. So that they can plan another route in Moscow and be aware that it will be along the "Ring Road".

The American president is making a big mistake by meeting with the Russian president again. At the previous one, which took place between the two in Anchorage, he embarrassed his country. Now he seems to have decided to do the same in Budapest. As for the host of the meeting, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, he has long been a Putinophile. And his Putinophileism has also made him a Trumpist. A great humiliation for Hungary," Yordanov also writes.
