Foreign minister: Hungary’s red lines on Ukraine funding, military training crossed in EU

Change language:

The crossing of red lines in the European Union has started, with the bloc ignoring Hungary’s right to decide on the matter of 1.4 billion euros for financing arms deliveries to Ukraine and sending military trainers there, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said in Luxembourg on Monday.

Szijjártó said pro-war governments had “failed massively” electorally, yet “war hysteria” had ratcheted up ever since and “they have ignored the will of the people”. During a break of the EU Foreign Affairs Council he told a press conference that it was clear that many EU member states were preparing gearing up for a long war.

He noted that another 1.4 billion euros from the European Peace Fund would be used to finance weapons for Ukraine, “even though Hungary doesn’t assent to this”, adding that the funds essentially matched seized or frozen Russian assets.

As Hungary abstained from the first vote on their use, he said EU bodies and member states had taken that as a cue to ignore Hungary’s position and its right to decide.

“This is a clear red line,” the minister said, adding that disregarding common European rules had been regarded in the past as “a shameless violation”. He insisted that European rules were being breached by those who vociferously advocated rule-of-law procedures and talked about the threat to democratic values.

  1. No one in the EU cares what Peter the lap dog thinks, red lines by an unelected Hungarian mouthpiece hahahahahahahahahahahah

  2. Shithearto with a russian hand up his behind. Puppets gonna be puppets.

    Fidesz is the official party of war, financing russia by continuing to buy gas, and who knows what else, from their New Red Masters. Hungarians are getting tired of Fidesz moral and financial corruption.

  3. The E.U.’s net annual contribution is just under 400 euros per capita. I will more than happily forgo that if it means ridding ourselves of the EUrogarbage diktats, especially those leading to a needless war.

    I don’t want a thin cent of my money going to Ukraine anymore.
