President Novák: Russia cannot win
Change language:
It is vitally important to avoid a third world war and prevent the escalation of the war in Ukraine, President Katalin Novák told a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday.
Answering a question by the chair of the panel entitled Defending Europe’s United Front, Novák argued in favour of the EU continuing to help Ukraine in order to prevent Russia from winning the war, and she said Hungary continued to support this aim.
Novák noted that neither NATO nor the EU were military participants in the war, and, she added, this must remain the case. “We mustn’t get involved militarily in the conflict,” she said, adding that it was vitally important to preserve peace and security.
Asked about Ukraine’s chances of winning the war and whether Ukraine’s victory was key to maintaining Europe’s security, Novák said: “Russia cannot win”.
Thank God Novak has made a full denunciation of Russia’s aggression and stated that Russia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine. The problem is that it is not Orban who made these statements. He will never denounce Russia and Putin so we always need to treat him as an agent of Russia or at least highly compromised to Putin’s control. The EU is thinking beyond Ukraine now and that is about an attempt by Russia to invade the Baltic countries within three years and possibly within a year. This is a perilous time and if we allow Ukraine to lose, Russia will then devote its’ resources to taking the Baltics. Putin has Russia going to a war oriented economy. Europe desperately needs to ramp up production of munitions and put in place strong defensive measures on the eastern flank and the Baltics in particular to dissuade Putin from gambling on further conquest.
