Orbán: Zelenskiy wants to drag as many states into the war as he can, including Hungary

2022 Hungarian parliamentary election European Union Hungarian government Hungary NATO refugees from Ukraine Viktor Orbán war in Ukraine

Peace and security are now issues in the April 3 general election, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview to public radio on Sunday, adding that only the ruling Fidesz party could guarantee peace and security in Hungary.

Orbán said the “international dimension” provided an opportunity to “finally talk seriously, honestly and deeply about highly important issues.” The election, he added, would decide Hungary’s fate “for the next four years at the very least”. Also, the referendum on child protection held in parallel would have consequences and significance beyond Hungary at European level, too.

Orbán said

Hungary was “an island of tranquility” amid “this western gender insanity”.

“We’re still taking the traditional family approach,” he said. “The mother is a woman, the father a man, and they should leave our children be.” Assessing a European and NATO summit on the war in Ukraine earlier in the week, the prime minister said Hungary’s position had been carbon copied. NATO will not send troops to Ukraine nor transport weapons there, he said, though this did not stop individual member states doing so.

He said

“the problem with the Polish peace mission is there’s no peace”.

A ceasefire would have to be established first, he added, otherwise peacekeeping troops would get mixed up in the fighting. In connection with a no-fly zone, he said air warfare should be avoided. Shooting down aircraft would likewise mean taking part in the war, he added.

On the topic of Hungarian imports of Russian oil and gas, Orbán said the economy would tank if supplies were halted. Several EU member states agreed with Hungary that sanctions should not cover oil and gas, he said, referring specifically to Austria and Germany. He said the issue was not one of cost but “either the gas flows or it doesn’t”.

Orbán said stopping Russian gas and oil supplies would set the economy back 8-10 years.

He said Hungary was doing what it could “but we can’t be expected to ruin ourselves…” The prime minister insisted that Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president, had addressed others besides himself at the recent summit, and “attacked anyone he considered was lacking in commitment” in defending Ukraine.

Orbán said Ukraine had an interest in involving “as many countries as possible” in the war, “so we must absolutely make clear that we will not take part in the war”. “Our moral responsibility is not for Ukraine but for our own people.” Hungary, he said, was providing Ukraine all the aid it could, but the government refused to do anything that would

“ruin the community of the nation”.

The dispute, he said, was not with Zelenskiy “but with the Hungarian left wing”. “We have been on the side of Hungarians for 1,100 years,” he said.

He rejected the leader of the opposition Democratic Coalition Ferenc Gyurcsány’s insistence that Hungarians were “morally defiling” themselves “by refusing to sacrifice our interests to Ukrainian interests”.

Hungarian policies, he added, were friendly neither to Ukraine nor to Russia, but took the Hungarian nation’s interest as its basis.

The “great powers”, Orbán insisted, were “not interested in the national basis but in an imperial or supranational basis”.

The prime minister said the war and Europe’s security situation had a bearing on the continent’s economic situation, and everything now had to be “recalculated”. At the EU summit, the other “important issue” besides the war was the issue of energy, he noted, adding that it was questionable as to whether Brussels bureaucrats “have a good energy policy today”. The various approaches of member states were starkly different, Orban said, and their respective proposals reflected this fact.

    This is ANOTHER platform – pursued by Victor Orban – with Hungary under the MASSIVE microscope it is UNDER – in Europe and Globally, that will NOT be looked upon FAVOURABLE.
    Citizens of Hungary – must not be SWAYED in there Vote, treat it, as a close friend & and supporter – of the Hungarian Prime Minister & Fidesz Party – the “infamous” Donald. J.Trump – would call it – Fake News.
    Hungary – since the outbreak of this war commenced by Russia on the Ukraine, throughout Europe not just the member countrys of the European Union, but Great Britain and Great Britain – has been EXPOSED – to its realionships, the depth of relationships with Russia & China.
    Victor Orban – with a platform growing the theme of this article – continues to Discredit the brand name Hungary – pushing us FURTHER into Isolation – away from the Major countries of Europe & the Global World.

    NATO meeting last week in Brussels – OBVIOUS – the isolation or was it cold shoulder treatment Victor Orban – RECEIVED.

    Fake News – PROPAGANDA – fighting for his Political Survival and his Party – is he the FORLORN figure that is being witnessed – in the lead up to April 3rd.

    The question remains – What Side are you on – and placed Hungary Mr Prime Minister – Hungary ???

    Carefully must be the REPLY – because growing evidance throughout Europe & the Global World – know the Factual answer, and that’s what the citizens of Hungary – must – in the RESPONSIBILITY of the vote they cast April 3rd – what SIDE do they want to live with and under in the Future of Hungary.

    @Concerned – Troubled
    Please dont be so concerned about what you really dont understand. Hungarians are not lap dogs like you would wish. They know their position, they know their history, and they know and learnt from the past. If you wish to follow Hungary’s past, then go ahead with it. Hungary, just like the current US administration, and NATO, will not throw themselves into someone else’s war. There were 8 years to resolve this from the last lesson between those two. Now all Hungary can afford is humanitarian aid, delivered as it is, and non-lelhal equipment, not the cost of someone else’s war.
    BTW, there is a large population of Ethinic Hungarian-Ukrainians, the government the government does not wish to draw a bombing campaign over. Think about that.
