The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary rejected Ukraine's call for the supply of weapons through its territory. Also, Hungary will not give up Russian oil and gas. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the country, Peter Szijarto..
“Yesterday at the EU summit, Volodymyr Zelensky repeated two well-known Ukrainian demands: to allow the supply of weapons through our country and at the same time stop buying natural gas and oil from Russia.. We understand that the President of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people are most important. However, for us, the security of Hungary and its people is of paramount importance.. We will do everything in our power to keep Hungary out of the war, therefore we will not allow the transfer of weapons through our territory, ”Szijarto said in a Facebook post..
He believes that the supply of weapons to Ukraine will become a military target for destruction, therefore Hungary does not want to risk the life and safety of its people.
" Cutting off supplies of natural gas and oil from Russia would make it impossible to provide Hungary with energy and at the same time lead to increased costs. Therefore, we still do not support the expansion of sanctions on the supply of energy resources,” the Hungarian Foreign Minister said..
