Orbán cabinet: the EU wants to keep Ukraine alive. This must not happen
The Hungarian government wants the war in Ukraine to end as soon as possible, regardless of its impact on Ukraine. Now, Orbán has sent an even stronger message: he wants to prevent it from being kept alive.
As we wrote earlier, the prime minister also defied the EU consensus on support for Ukraine last week by vetoing it again: PM Orbán vetoed the EU’s EUR ~20bn military support for Ukraine, but remained alone.
The Hungarian government has again made a shocking statement. They posted a message on their official Facebook page, stating what they think of the position taken by EU member states. The government’s assessment of what was agreed at the European Council meeting to help Ukraine is that the EU wants to…
- …keep Ukraine alive,
- …fund the one million-strong Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian state,
- …put Ukraine on a fast track.
Then they wrote that
this must not happen.
Telex spotted this, but the government soon deleted the Facebook post. The picture was accompanied by the comment that the European Union is overreaching and this cannot end well economically.
The government’s communication stance has so far neglected any solidarity, as they believe that an invaded Ukraine should stand alone against the superior strength of the aggressor Russia, and if it fails, so be it, you should not help the weaker side in a war.
