Hungarian PM reprimands West for funding Ukraine while Ukrainians are dying

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that "peace plans" cannot end the war in Ukraine, but only a "truce". Source: 24.hu news outlet quoting Orban's speech at the conservative festival Tranzit in the Hungarian village of Tihany, as reported by European Pravda Details: Orban stated that the war in Ukraine cannot be stopped by "having a 'peace plan' and waiting for something to happen - first, there must be an early, immediate and unconditional ceasefire".

"Europe's first mistake was to globalise this war. The only country that said on the day the war broke out that it should be localised was ours... The strategy of the West is that Ukrainians fight and die, and we give them money, information and weapons," Orban said.

He added that this "strategy" did not work because Ukraine has a smaller population, "so we should send our troops, but no one dares to do that".

Orban went on to mention the "significant price" that Hungary and the entire European Union are paying to support Ukraine: "We have already sent EUR70 billion and now we are discussing whether to send another EUR50 billion, while the EU needs every cent to regain its competitiveness." Background: Representatives of the Hungarian authorities do not hesitate to repeat the lies of Russian propaganda. In particular, the day before, the Minister of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, Gergely Gulyas, said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had not brought "any significant results" and that Budapest's position on negotiations was justified.
