- Orban pointed to the security threat to the EU amid the financing of the army in Ukraine


The European Union's (EU) initiative to finance a "multimillion-dollar" army in Ukraine poses risks to the security of Europe itself due to the country's political instability. This was announced on May 23 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Radio Kossuth.
"The army is always under the influence of the government, and Ukraine is a politically unstable state, no one can say which government might be there. And we will use our money to give a million—strong army to the Ukrainian government, which we do not know," he said.
The head of the Hungarian government believes that such a development may become a problem in the future and poses a serious threat to the security of the region, the Newspaper adds.Ru». According to Orban, the Ukrainian army will not always be "friendly" towards European countries, and therefore there are negligible guarantees that EU spending on Kiev's military needs will pay off.
Yesterday, Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko announced that the country had offered EU countries to direct part of their GDP to finance the Ukrainian army. He noted that the measures involve the participation of partners in financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and the integration of the army into the European defense system.
Orban said on May 2 that the EU's policy of supporting Ukraine would soon bankrupt the countries of the continent. According to him, the European economy is in a state of stagnation, and the EU states would not have such problems if it were not for the funds sent to Kiev.
