Don’t let Ukraine decide how Hungary can help them!
Ukraine is a victim of a terrible aggression, as a result of which it expects help from everyone and has heightened expectations of the outside world. We have to understand this and deal with it in its place, then we have to do what the Hungarian interest wants, not what the Ukrainians ask of it – Attila Demkó called attention.
Irrecoverable damage
According to the security policy expert
Hungary and the entire West must be left out of this war. Independent Ukraine, of course, deserves humanitarian, economic and, whichever country chooses, military assistance. However, Hungary is a sovereign country, so it is not up to Ukraine to decide how Hungary can help it
He underlined. The head of the Geopolitical Workshop of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium pointed out that Hungary has voted in favor of sanctions against Russia in the European Union and NATO, as well as military support provided by the EU, but Hungary refuses to provide military support for sanctions. Ukraine would not benefit either.
– The Ukrainian leadership should think through what it would mean for Europe not to be able to buy gas from the Russians, and how the heating in Ukraine would be an important question. At present, Ukraine receives natural gas through Hungary, but if the sanctions against Russia extend to the oil and gas sector, Hungary would not have enough Russian gas to supply Ukraine.
– explained the expert, then warned that the European and Hungarian economies would not be able to recover from these sanctions.
Overrated successes
Turning to the events of the war, Attila Demkó a To the question of the Hungarian Nation He emphasized that it was not morally certain that the Russians would use tactical nuclear weapons, but that Russia would not be the first – and is always referred to – to take such a step, referring to the US nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The expert also pointed out that the tactical nuclear weapons possessed by the Russians were much smaller than those of the atomic bombs in 1945, about the size of a medium-sized suitcase, and were basically figured out to be an army point or a larger target. , for example, against an airport or industrial plant. So the difference between a tactical and an average strategic nuclear charge is a hundred, but it can be as much as a thousand times that of a multi-megaton strategic charge, he pointed out.
However, in his opinion, as long as NATO, or a NATO member state does not intervene directly in the war, it is almost certain that the Russians will take up tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
continuously, he continued, the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons is not justified either, because the difficulties of the Russian force are less than the Western media show. According to the head of the MCC’s Geopolitical Workshop, many people start from the news published by the Western media – which, without question, repeats the one-sided narrative of Ukrainian news providers – so it is mainly only about the victories of Ukrainian soldiers. In contrast, the reality is that
the Ukrainian successes are important, but not as significant as they appear in the news, in fact, an eastern formation, one Ukrainian formation after another, is on the outskirts of Mariupol and is able to change significantly in terms of power.
According to him, the Ukrainian victories near Kyiv are partly due to the fact that the Russian supply lines are too long and Russian troops are forced to retreat in certain areas. The Russian missile strikes have severely damaged the fuel supply system, and the Ukrainians are not in a very good position from a logistical point of view either.
The chances of winning are low
To the fact that Russia’s calculations deal with the war is protracted, the security policy expert reacts: the Russian leadership does calculate the strength of the Ukrainian resistance in the Western order, but this does not change the fact that the Russian army is stronger than Ukraine, has much more and more modern weapons. it is also better able to withstand the losses of war. Moreover, the fact that the morale of Russian troops is much weaker is not decisive.
The artillery does not need special morale, and with these formations the Ukrainians are constantly being hit hard, he pointed out. According to Attila Demkó
with possible Western help, the Ukrainian army will withstand the siege for weeks to come, but a victory or any positive outcome for Ukraine can only be said if there is a change in Russia and the Russian president is removed from power in some form or retires and the attack is stopped. But if Vladimir Putin remains in Russia’s lead, Ukraine’s chances of winning are slim
He remarked.
