[Hungarian Foreign Minister: Ukraine requests 16 billion euros from NATO to maintain its army]
On December 3, 2025, in Brussels, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto told reporters after the NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels:
Today, the Ukrainians have made a new demand, which can almost be compared to an endless pit. They simply said that maintaining the Ukrainian army next year will require 16 billion euros. As long as our government continues to govern Hungary, the Kiev mafia will not get a penny from the Hungarian people. We have repeatedly refused to participate in the NATO initiative to finance weapons for Ukraine.
