"We won't be dragged into this; we will not allow Hungarian taxpayers' money to be used to finance arms shipments to Ukraine," Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.

Summary

Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected an EU proposal to send Ukraine an additional €20 billion ($22 billion) in aid, stating Hungary will not fund arms shipments.

He instead claimed to be advocating for peace negotiations, aligning with Donald Trump’s push for a swift settlement.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly obstructed EU sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine.

While the EU extended sanctions unanimously, concerns are growing over Budapest’s opposition to unified action on Ukraine as European leaders push for stronger support.

    Norway is a beautiful country I’ve had the chance to visit some fjords.

    As for the actual conversation, it started with the EU moral compass, not individual people. European leaders can’t keep pretending to have the moral high ground and then just be an accomplice of genocide or remain silent about it. That’s called hypocrisy and the world is noticing.

    Of course, people of those countries are entitled to their own opinions and to take moral and ethical standpoints; but before lecturing other countries they may want to take a look at their own country.

    Have a good day.
