What matters most to Hungarians is staying out of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook on Thursday.
Szijjártó noted that the foreign ministers of NATO’s eastern flank are meeting in Bratislava during the day to discuss the war in Ukraine. “We stand by Ukraine and want peace as soon as possible,” he said.
“The most important thing for us Hungarians is staying out of this war,” Szijjártó said. “
We will protect Hungary and the Hungarian people and will do everything we can to make sure that we are not dragged into the war.
That is why we have decided not to send weapons or allow the transit of weapons deliveries across our country.”
Szijjártó said other central and eastern European countries had decided differently. “This is not our decision but theirs, so we respect it, but we also expect them to respect our decision,” the minister said.
He said Thursday’s meeting would also cover energy security, which he said was a key issue in all of Europe.
“We will by no means allow Hungarians to be made to pay the price of war, therefore we will not support sanctions on natural gas and crude oil supplies,” he said. “Fortunately we are not alone because several (mainly western European) countries are taking a sensible position on this issue.”
The meeting will be attended by foreign ministers of the Visegrád Four countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, the Baltic states and Romania and Bulgaria.

As from tomorrow, countries that Russia supplies gas to must pay in Roubles or their contracts will not be honoured………
So, what’s Orban signed us up to or sold us out to…….
The UKR-Russia war is NOT WW3
It is the start of WW1, on the USD .Putin is building the coalition – targetting the nations with USD reserves
They are ones who will break the 1st
And 2 of them,want to break off, from the USD – id.est., PRC and Saudia
Once these 2 nations get on board – the whole world ,will fall in line – excluding North America and EU.
And then,the West will try to save the Dollar – and when they know that, it is not possible – then you will have WW3 !
That is the movie – with no happy ending !
The Fatal flaw of America and the EU, is the DOLLAR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – which Putin and Emperor Xi have just realised.dindooohindoo
Putin has given a deadline to pay for Gas in Roubles
The Genius of “Buyers will transfer payments into a Gazprombank account in foreign currency, which the bank will then convert into roubles and transfer into the buyer’s rouble account”
That is so the EU cannot say “From where will we get the Euros” ?
Is the account of Gazprom with a Russian Bank,in Moscow or in EU ? Will the EU wire the 1st leg,of the USD via SWIFT ?
SWIFT ! I thought,there was a SWIFT ban !
The Dis-ass-ter ! Y did Putin choose the 1st of April,2022 ?
Who ARE THE FOOLS HERE ?
What is going on ?
The war on the USD has begun and Emperor Xi is watching !
The genius is that,not only will the Rouble rise – but that SWIFT sanctions and Russian bank sanctions are blown to bits – AND A RUSSIAN BANK,WILL DECIDE THE RATE OF CONVERSION – and there are no prizes as to where Putin wants Rouble to go !
And if USD falls – NYMEX oil will rise and 50% of Russian GDP is Oil and Gas !
Mamma Mia !
France and UK have refused to pay for Russian Gas in Roubles
IT IS TIME FOR PRC to step in to Buy Oil,Gas and Metals on Long term contracts at discounted rates in Yuan.
The Yuan with Russia,will be used to import from nations – who in turn are importers from PRC.That will close out the Yuan currency chain – obviating the need for converting Yuan to USD.
This will reduce the demand for USD and USD will collapse,The aim of Roubles sales of Oil and Gas,is to make UK and France borrow Roubles (and thus kill the demand for USD and appreciate the Rouble)
THEREFORE THE OIL,GAS,METALS AND WHEAT MARKETS WILL BE TRADED IN DALIAN OR SHANGHAI – AND WIPE OUT LME/NYMEX AND CBOT and TOCOM.
DOLLAR DEPRECIATION WILL DESTROY SAUDI USD FX RESERVES – AND THEY WILL BE GLAD TO SHIFT OIL TO YUAN..
AND TO STOP THE DESTRUCTION OF THE USD – WAR IS INEVITABLE !
