In the video, the PM Orban stressed that the European Union is committed to continuing the war  although it does not possess the necessary financial resources. The EU wants to continue the war "even though it doesn't have a single cent to send to Ukraine for military equipment or for financing its operations, or a single idea as to how it should acquire those funds."

The Prime Minister highlighted that the only ideas the EU has are for member states to chip in or to take out a joint loan. Hungary, however, firmly rejects these options.

We refuse to put our grandchildren's future on the line in order to finance an unwinnable Ukrainian war,

Viktor Orban underscored.
