Summary

Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected an EU proposal to send Ukraine an additional €20 billion ($22 billion) in aid, stating Hungary will not fund arms shipments.

He instead claimed to be advocating for peace negotiations, aligning with Donald Trump’s push for a swift settlement.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly obstructed EU sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine.

While the EU extended sanctions unanimously, concerns are growing over Budapest’s opposition to unified action on Ukraine as European leaders push for stronger support.

    No, you are the one moving the goalpost.

    If no-one were allowed to criticise another country’s leader for their actions because of their own countries appalling handling of Israel, then you wouldn’t have many who’d be allowed to speak up.

    That’s not what this is about. This is about pretending to have some higher moral values while at the same time providing support to a country committing a genocide.

    Spain, Norway, Ireland, South Africa, Brazil come to mind. I’m sure there are others.
