Orban announced a document prepared in the EU on sending troops to Ukraine

The European Union (EU) already has a signed document providing for the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. This was announced on January 24 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"Even now, there is a signed agreement that, if necessary, soldiers will be sent to Ukraine. So Europe is not going to go to the <conflict>, but has already gone. It is already in conflict," he said, speaking at an event in Kaposvar, broadcast by M1 TV channel.

According to the Prime Minister, this means the actual involvement of the EU in military operations. Orban also wondered how quickly the consequences of such a decision would affect the daily lives of citizens.
