PM Orban: They Want to Prevent Hungarians From Expressing Their Opinion on Ukraine’s EU Membership

“If anyone harbors any hopes that the Russians and Ukrainians will come to an agreement, they’re mistaken,” Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated in an interview with Tenyek on TV2. He also spoke about the Ukrainian spy scandal.

The Ukrainian situation is complex. They are carrying out intelligence operations even against Hungary, a NATO member state. They’re trying to prevent Hungarians from expressing their opinion on Ukraine’s EU membership. They are determined to force their way into the EU, as they believe their survival depends on it.

The prime minister also commented on his meetings at the EPC summit, where he spoke with newly elected German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Ukraine will be on the agenda, because it’s unprecedented that a non-NATO country—which allegedly seeks good relations with NATO—is conducting intelligence operations and running a well-coordinated, -organized and -funded disinformation and smear campaign against a NATO member state. That’s unacceptable. NATO must not tolerate it,

Viktor Orban concluded.
