>Romania voiced "firm disapproval" of Mr Orban's gesture, in a message to the Hungarian ambassador to Bucharest. Ukraine demanded an official apology.

>Ukraine's foreign ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said Kyiv was summoning Hungary's ambassador "who will be informed of the unacceptability of Viktor Orban's act".
