Hungary Issues Warning Over EU's Involvement in Ukraine

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Oban has criticized the EU for choosing a path of escalation in the Ukrainian crisis.

The continuation of hostilities and sanctions on Russia is about to plunge its members into a recession, he warned

The remarks about EU foreign policy came at a summit of Turkic nations in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, on Friday. He contrasted the European approach to that of nations attending the meeting, particularly Türkiye, which served as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, RT reported.

“The voice of those who want peace is much quieter than the voice of those who just increase tensions,” Orban said of Western policy on Ukraine.

“We in the EU are on a spiral of escalation. We first delivered non-lethal military aid, then we started sending lethal weapons, now we are training the Ukrainian troops in European territory. In the next few days we will decide whether to bankroll the Ukrainian economy,” he explained.
