Viktor Orbán will not go to Kiev because Hungary will not send weapons to Ukraine
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán will not go to Ukraine because Hungary still does not supply weapons to Ukraine. As is known, the prime ministers of the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia will pay a visit to Ukrainian President Volodomir Zelensky on Tuesday. Origo knows the leaders of the three countries will discuss the details of the arms shipments promised by their country leaders in the Ukrainian leadership in Kiev. However, as Hungary does not supply weapons to Ukraine, the Hungarian Prime Minister will not take part in the trial.
Origo recalled that Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Slovenian Deputy Prime Minister Janez Jansa will travel to Kiev today to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denis Smihal. The three countries reportedly undertook to supply arms to Ukraine. The details of this will be discussed in Kiev with the Ukrainian leadership.
Viktor Orbán will not take part in the talks because, as the Prime Minister has repeatedly confirmed, Hungary will not supply arms or send troops to Ukraine, the Hungarian government aims to prevent Hungary from drifting into the war in all circumstances, the government is working to restore peace .
From the moment the war broke out, the Hungarian government declared that it would not send soldiers and transport weapons to Ukraine, as Hungary should not be allowed to drift into a war.
In recent weeks, the news portal has dealt in detail with the fact that left-wing politicians have been bidding almost on each other about how Hungary should intervene in the war. Péter Márki-Zay talked about sending soldiers and sending weapons on ATV in the YouTube show Partizán. But Gyurcsány’s former Minister of Defense, Ferenc Juhász and his EU representative, Sándor Rónai, would also supply weapons to Ukraine, Origo writes. And the vice-president of Jobbik said at a public forum last week that it was up to the soldiers to fight if necessary, and so he would send Hungarian professional soldiers to Ukraine.
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó – after the Russians were bombing near the Polish border – says that this also shows the serious risks of simply mentioning arms transfers.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán made it clear: the goal of the Hungarian government is peace, war must be avoided by all means, arms transfers would cause serious damage to the Hungarians of Transcarpathia, and the country could drift into war.
