Hungarian FM: Remarks about sending European troops to Ukraine go against NATO decisions

Change language:

Any plan or remark about the potential deployment of European troops in Ukraine “goes directly against” the decisions made by NATO in connection with the war between Russia and Ukraine, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Thursday.

Asked at a press conference to comment on recent remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron in which he said he did not rule out Western troops being sent to Ukraine, Szijjártó warned against making “dangerous statements” that risked escalation.

The minister said words and declarations “weigh far heavier” in tense situations than in times of peace, underlining that Hungary would not send troops to Ukraine “under any circumstances” and was also sticking to its decision against delivering weapons.

Szijjártó welcomed, at the same time, the clear declaration by several European leaders not to send troops to Ukraine, either.

He noted that two years ago, NATO declared that it was not party to the war, and that everything possible needed to be done to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia.
