"Remember that in the first world war Hungary lost 660,000 lives, and 850,000 in the second world war. That's 1.5 million people. Had they not perished, and had their children and grandchildren been born, we would not have to worry about population decline today. This must never happen again," Viktor Orban said in his October 23 speech, excerpts of which he also shared on his social media page.
The Prime Minister stressed:
We could not stay out of the first and second world wars, but we will stay out of this one.
"We are now a strong and sovereign nation with dignity, preserving itself and its future, no matter how the traitors scream 'Slava Ukraini!' All our response will be is: Glory to Hungary! Those who say 'no' to the war are with us. Hungarians want peace. Hungarians want to live."
We will not give our money or our weapons. We will not go to war or die for Ukraine, but we will live for Hungary,
stated Viktor Orban.
