[Regnum] The Hungarian government fears the participation of the North Atlantic Alliance in an armed conflict with Russia on the side of Ukraine and is preparing for such a development of events. The head of the office of the Prime Minister of the country, Gergely Guillas, told reporters about this. “There is more bad news than good news right now. Leading European politicians are talking about the need to send soldiers to Ukraine, and the most alarming thing is that NATO has also changed its course,” Guillas explained. He added that the bloc has not yet become an active participant in the conflict, but is preparing for practical participation in it on the side of Ukraine and would like to create a $100 billion fund for this purpose to coordinate the supply of weapons and training of militants of the Kyiv regime. Gergely Gulyas explained that Budapest stands for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, but nevertheless the government must prepare for all scenarios. As Regnum reported, on April 3, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó told reporters that increasing NATO’s coordinating role in military supplies to Ukraine is dangerous, as it draws the alliance into conflict with Russia. He noted that Hungary does not want and will not participate in this. On March 29, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Russia will not threaten NATO countries with an attack, but is categorically against Ukraine joining the alliance and will never accept this. He explained that Ukraine’s entry into the bloc would mean moving closer to Russian borders. In his opinion, it is necessary to create some kind of “safe buffer zone” with security guarantees provided to Kyiv. |
