Orban stated that Hungary has no plans to participate in the "coalition of the willing"

Hungary will not participate in the "coalition of the willing" created by Brussels to provide military support to Ukraine. This was announced on October 23 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"With inimitable elegance, they call it the "coalition of the willing." Those who want to send others to die for Ukraine. They are ready to send even more weapons and even more money to Ukraine," the Hungarian Prime Minister stressed, addressing the participants of the rally in Budapest.

He also noted that Hungary opposes Ukraine's accession to the European Union (EU), but not against partnership and cooperation with Kiev. In addition, the politician drew attention to the fact that European money is "flowing like a river" to Ukraine, and as long as the conflict continues, there will be no economic growth.

Orban added that the conflict in Ukraine would have been over long ago if European countries had not hindered peacekeeping efforts.
