Peter Szijjarto, Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, issued a statement saying that at yesterday's EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels, several EU member states' foreign ministers expressed their willingness for Ukraine to continue the war. Although this has already been an open secret, previously EU foreign ministers had only discussed it privately, but now it is the first time they have publicly stated their position.
Szijjarto said that most EU member states want the Russia-Ukraine conflict to continue and reject peace. However, Szijjarto did not provide any further details, including a list of EU foreign ministers who openly opposed the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
Additionally, after a meeting with colleagues, Szijjarto told M1 TV that EU foreign ministers publicly stated that the United States poses a threat to Europe for the first time. Szijjarto firmly opposed this view held by multiple EU member states' foreign ministers, calling the claim that the US attempts to divide the EU "utterly shameless." Szijjarto pointed out that EU leaders and Brussels officials "naively believe they still play an important role in global politics."
In Szijjarto's view, so far, Trump has placed very little importance on most EU member states. The EU is no longer a reliable ally worth considering for solving any international issue, including the European situation, for Trump and even the entire United States.
As for whether to continue supporting Ukraine against Russia, the White House's position is very clear: If you want to help Zelenskyy, go ahead and do it, but the consequences will be entirely your responsibility.
Therefore, Szijjarto believes that the EU's resistance against Trump—a movement that has moved from the shadows to the public—will not have any impact on Trump, and may even further anger this emotionally unstable and extremely self-centered president.
