Hungary will not send weapons to Ukraine but is among the first countries to urge for peace, Zoltán Kovács, the state secretary for international communications, said in an interview broadcast by Italian television RAI on Sunday.
Kovács told Lucia Annunziata, an anchor for the programme In mezz’ora on RAI 3, regarded as a channel close to the left wing, that war never represented a solution but the conflict there concerned not only human rights but also international relations.
“Hungary stands on the side of peace, similarly to all countries neighbouring Ukraine,”
he said. Hungary supports all decisions by NATO and the European Union but will refuse to send weapons because it keeps national interests in view.
The war is a cause of great concern for the Hungarian government which considers the security of Hungarian ethnic minority in Ukraine a priority issue, he added.

The whole of Europe is the target
The aim is to bring PRC into a strategic embrace of Russia – with a swap to Russian Gas via the Siberian Gas Pipelines.That will PERMANENTLY SOLVE THE OIL /ENERGY SECURITY OF PRC, AND THE RISK OF A NAVAL BLOCKADE IN THE SCS AND THE HORN OF AFRICA.
RUSSIA HAS ALL THE OIL/GAS/COAL,MINERALS AND RARE EARTHS THAT PRC NEEDS !
THAT WILL DRASTICALLY LOWER THE COST OF CHINESE MANUFACTURING + DESTROY EU MANUFACTURING & GERMAN MANUFACTURING, THERE WILL BE NO EU MANUFACTURING EXPORTS TO PRC,AND IT WILL CRASH THE EURO, & RUIN THE EU ECONOMIES WITH JOB LOSSES AND LOWER STANDARDS OF LIVING – & WILL CONVERT THE EU, INTO A 3 RD WORLD BLOCK – WHICH GERMANY & FRANCE,WILL NOT SUPPORT,AND HENCE ,THE EU WILL BREAK UP.
ONCE THERE IS NO EU – AND NO MONEY IN EU – THERE WILL BE NO NATO !
THAT IS THE PUTIN-XI PLAN – & SO,THEY WANT MORE SANCTIONS.HIGHER ENERGY AND MINERALS WILL PUSH PRC TO PUTIN & ALSO INCREASE, INFLATION IN THE EU. dindooohindoo
