Minister: Hungary won’t allow lethal aid to transit its territory

Hungary has consented to the European Union delivering weapons to Ukraine but will not be involved in the action on a bilateral basis and will not allow lethal aid to transit its territory, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó in Pristina on Monday.

After meeting Kosovo’s foreign minister, Donika Gervalla-Schwarz, Szijjártó noted that on Sunday Hungary had consented to the activation of the European Peace Facility (EPF), enabling the EU to deliver weapons to Ukraine, but made it clear that it will not do the same on a national, bilateral basis.

“Today we decided not the allow lethal aid to transit Hungary. The reason for this decision is that such deliveries might become targets of hostile military action,” he said, adding that Hungary should not get involved in the war under any circumstances.

The minister said the government’s stance rested on

“the security of Hungary and the ethnic Hungarian community in Ukraine’s Transcarpathia region”.

In the meantime, Szijjártósaid Hungary has prepared one of its largest humanitarian missions of all time, sending 600 million forints (EUR 1.62m) worth of aid, including bottled water, food, baby-care and hygiene products to Transcarpathia to avert a humanitarian disaster.

“Hungarians do not want this war. They want peace in their neighbourhood and the region,”

he said.

The minister said the country was proud of its troops serving in peacekeeping missions around the world, including in Kosovo. He noted that a Hungarian has commanded NATO’s Kosovo Force (KFOR) since last November, and that the 490-strong Hungarian contingent is the third biggest involved in the mission.

In the current situation, maintaining stability in the region is more important than ever before, he said. “Hungary is prepared to do everything it can to guarantee peace in its neighbourhood, including in the Western Balkans,” Szijjarto said.

    On Saturday October 23, 2021, the same Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook that, despite reports aired on Radio Free Europe in October 1956 suggesting imminent international intervention to support the Hungarian revolution, “nobody came to help”. “We Hungarians wanted to belong to the free world, but that world left us high and dry,” He added that Hungary lost not only its fight but also “freedom for more than three decades”.

    Turns out the International Community then did exactly what he is purporting now. How interesting.
