Orbán cabinet: EU must set clear directive on Russia-Ukraine conflict

Change language:

Hungary is calling on the European Union to set clear political guidelines on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the minister in charge of European Union affairs said on Tuesday.

János Bóka told the Hungarian press after a meeting of EU affairs ministers in Brussels that the EU must ensure its reactions to the war’s developments are predictable for the bloc and for Ukraine.

The EU’s policy on Ukraine has started developing in a way that could create strategic uncertainty instead of setting a clear political framework, he added.

The EU must also clarify the areas in which it will support Ukraine, he said. “We don’t think we can responsibly take on commitments of which boundaries are not clear to member states.”

Regarding the conflict between Hamas and Israel, Bóka said Hungary condemned the attacks by the terrorist organisation and demanded the immediate release of the hostages. Hungary recognised Israel’s right to self-defence, he said. Security risks to Israel must be eliminated before talks can start on the future of negotiations in the Middle East and on avoiding escalation, he added.

  1. Well. Let our Politicians have their “rock solid” commitment to do nothing to help a neighbor and keep Mr. Putin as a friend, while everyone else appears to be disagreeing and doing the opposite.

    In this light, quite why our Politicians support preconditions regarding negotiations involving Israel is perplexing. Mr. Netanyahu rejects the Biden peace plan, he appears to offer neither Israelis nor its military a plan as to how he wishes the war to end, other than insisting he wants “total victory” and “destroy Hamas”.

    So much for the universal (or is it sporadic) support for “Peace!”, even as the Gaza humanitarian crisis deepens.

  2. I guess you enjoy seeing dead Ukrainian children and adults. Most of us just say a prayer for their families.
