Orbán: Europe Will Have a Christmas Without War

 

Budapest, December 22 -- TASS

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on the TV2 channel that Europe will be able to have a Christmas without war, but the military threat has not disappeared because some politicians want to drag Europe into direct conflict with Russia.

"Christmas will be without war, but the threat of war has not disappeared," the head of government emphasized and pointed out that "behind closed doors, Europe is preparing for a war against Russia." He believes that the result of the recent EU summit held in Brussels from December 18 to 19 proves this. In addition to Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, the participants decided to provide Ukraine with 90 billion euros in interest-free loans over the next two years to fund its military actions against Russia.

Orbán believes that this move leads to the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict and increases the risk of direct confrontation between EU countries and Russia. "We are so close to war that the Hungarian public cannot imagine it," the prime minister pointed out.

He emphasized that the current situation shows serious divisions within NATO, with the United States advocating for a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, while its European allies advocate continuing the campaign on the battlefield. "It was previously unimaginable that the US would say 'no' in NATO while Europe did not carry out the action," Orbán emphasized.

In his view, the majority of Europeans do not want war, yet various interest groups that profit from military orders are pushing politicians to continue the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, Orbán reminded that EU leaders hope Europe will be ready to go to war with Russia by 2030. He pointed out that he believes his task is to prevent Hungary from being involved in this dangerous adventure and to prevent European countries from conflicting with the Russian Federation.
