PM Orban: Buckle Up—A Turbulent Week Lies Ahead

“This week will be dominated by the EU summit in Brussels. We are preparing as well. The Hungarian Parliament’s European Union Consultative Committee will be meeting shortly,” Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote in a post shared on social media.

The prime minister added that

Europe wants to continue—and even expand—the war. It wants to keep it going on the Russian–Ukrainian front line and extend it into the economic hinterland by confiscating frozen Russian assets. This step amounts to an open declaration of war, which Russia will retaliate against,

Viktor Orban warned, emphasizing:

There is no reason to change Hungary’s position. There is no solution to the war on the battlefield. And if there is no solution on the front line, then what must be done is what President Trump is doing: negotiate. That is why Hungary does not support the confiscation of frozen Russian assets, will not send either money or weapons to Ukraine, and will not take part in EU borrowing that serves the aims of the war.

“Buckle up—we’re in for a turbulent week,” the prime minister concluded.
