Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, that the achievement of peace in Ukraine directly depends on the United States.
In an interview with the Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet, he emphasized, that the Ukrainian military is capable of fighting only thanks to the weapons and financial assistance received from the United States. Armed conflict in Ukraine will end exactly then, when the US government wants it. Orban also allowed, that the armed conflict in Ukraine could drag on for many years.
Earlier, the Prime Minister of Hungary said, that his country fully supports Kyiv, however, does not seek to terminate trade relations with Russia. Orban emphasized, that his government is considering these issues, taking into account the interests of Hungary, not someone else's.
One of the most important achievements of the Hungarian policy, Orban called, what, unlike other EU and NATO countries, his country was able to avoid indirect participation in the armed conflict in Ukraine.
Recall, that on the eve of the European Commission blocked the funds intended for Hungary from EU funds 22 billion. Budapest expected to receive these funds in the period up to 2027 of the year. Hungary planned to use the received tranche for a number of important social, environmental and infrastructure programs: railway modernization, education and other. Quite possible, that this is a kind of punishment for Orban for his intractability regarding a number of anti-Russian sanctions and the provision 18 billion euros to Ukraine. Author:Maxim Svetlyshev
