The representative of the Hungarian government, Zoltan Kovacs, published a column in which he claims that due to the supply of weapons to Kyiv, the EU and NATO actually became a party to the war in Ukraine.
Kovacs published a blog on the website About Hungary entitled "The European Union and NATO have de facto become a party to the war in Ukraine."
In the publication, he cites the result of a study by the Századvég Institute, close to the Hungarian government, which claims that the EU's alleged decision to finance Ukraine's need for lethal weapons and equipment "makes it a de facto party to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, indicating that the European Union has violated ideals and principles their moral principles".
Kovacs said that financing the supply of arms to Ukraine through the European Peace Fund marks a departure by the EU from its previous goals, as it now "directly supports one of the parties to the conflict, undermining its previous emphasis on maintaining peace on its territory."
"This is eerily reminiscent of the adage that history repeats itself, as while the rest of the world does not see weapons as a possible solution to most conflicts, Europe, once the starting point of world wars, is once again stockpiling lethal weapons," the spokesperson said in a statement. Hungarian government.
Kovacs accused the EU of "drifting on the brink of war" by putting global interests above the interests of its own community.
"That's why Hungary, like many other countries in the world, advocates for peace. Because only peace is the only solution to successfully stop the bloodshed and stop this senseless violence, which cost the lives of thousands of people," said the representative of Viktor Orbán's government.
It will be recalled that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán expressed his indignation at the statement of the NATO Secretary General during his visit to Kyiv that Ukraine should become a member of the Alliance in the future.
Orban previously called Ukraine "financially non-existent", complaining that Europe helps it finance many basic needs, and said that without this support "the war will end immediately".
