Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban admitted that some drones did enter Ukrainian airspace from Hungary, contradicting previous denials and escalating tensions between Kyiv and Budapest. The admission, which occurred between 6:37 PM and 7:07 PM UTC on September 29th, also saw Orban state that Ukraine is not a sovereign state. This statement was made in response to accusations that Hungarian reconnaissance drones had disrupted Ukrainian airspace. Andrii Sybiha, a Ukrainian official, shared on X.com at approximately 7:07 PM UTC that Prime Minister Orban had acknowledged the drone incursions. Sybiha also criticized Orban's stance, suggesting he remains influenced by Russian propaganda and urging him to reconsider his dependence on Russian energy, a point consistently emphasized by U.S. President Donald Trump and European partners. Previous reports from September 29th indicated that the Trump Administration was considering the sale of BGM-109 "Tomahawk" Land Attack Cruise Missiles to Europe for transfer to Ukraine, a move intended to bolster Ukraine's defensive capabilities amidst ongoing conflict. The Ukrainian parliament had also registered a bill to nominate President Trump for the Nobel Prize. Separately, concerns persisted regarding the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), which had been operating on diesel backup generators for an extended period due to a lack of external power.
