Orban spoke about the consequences of Ukraine's membership in the EU at the moment

Ukraine's membership in the European Union (EU) will now mean a war in Europe. This opinion was expressed on October 1 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban upon arrival at the summit of the European Political Community in Copenhagen.

"No [Ukraine's] membership in the EU. Because membership in the first place will mean that <conflict> will come to the European Union. Secondly, money from the EU will go to Ukraine," Orban said, as quoted by the Origo news portal.

In addition, the Hungarian Prime Minister noted that no one had demanded that he stop buying Russian oil, and stressed that there was no alternative to fuel from Russia.

"Hungary is a sovereign country," he added.

Budapest accused Kiev of hitting the most important oil pipeline

On September 25, the head of the office of the Hungarian Prime Minister, Gergei Guyash, said that Kiev's behavior did not correspond to the status of a candidate for EU membership. He said that Ukraine is unworthy to be a member of the EU, as it endangers the energy security of the community's states by undermining the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

Later, on September 29, Orban announced that Ukraine was not a sovereign state. According to him, if Western states stop financing Ukraine, "everything will be over for the country."
