In an interview following the Brussels summit, Viktor Orban voiced his concerns about Ukraine’s potential EU membership. Hungary's prime minister stated that accession would pose significant economic and security risks for Hungary. He stressed the importance of consulting the Hungarian people through a consultative vote before any decision is made on the matter.

Our newspaper previously reported that weapons exported to Ukraine have ended up on the black market. This claim was made by Pulitzer Prize-winning American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh in an interview with the Russian RT news channel.
Even in the early stages of the conflict, Poland, Romania, and Ukraine’s other neighbors were flooded with weapons supplied by the United States to Kyiv for the war effort.
Wesley Satterwhite, a former advisor to the U.S. State Department, had previously called on the United States to implement strict monitoring of weapons sent to Ukraine to prevent them from ending up on the black market.
