Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine benefits only a limited number of people, while Europeans need peace.
“Who needs this war? Politicians who believe that a nuclear power can be defeated on the battlefield, arms manufacturers who profit from endless conflicts, and bankers who bet on Russia's military defeat“, he wrote in X.
Orban stressed that Europeans deserve better, as Europe needs peace.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the Hungarian government has consistently advocated for a quick, exclusively peaceful resolution. Orban has repeatedly noted that military operations in the neighboring country and Western sanctions against Russia have caused damage to the Hungarian economy of between 20 and 30 billion euros.
