Hungarian prime minister warns of imminent conflict with Russia

On Friday evening, Viktor Orbán was a guest on the program "Tények" broadcast by TV2. "We are inches away from direct conflict when Western European or American soldiers appear in Ukraine," he commented in a conversation with the station's journalist.

The Hungarian Prime Minister also stated that Western leaders want war because they see that Russia can now be defeated. In Orbán's opinion, they are determined to engage in direct armed conflict. He insisted that this is a psychosis, with "one source in Washington, and another in Brussels."

In the interview with TV2, Orbán also addressed the left-wing, whose assessment of reality, in his opinion, is not always accurate. As an example, he cited 2015 and the topic of migration, which the left side of the political dispute allegedly called a "false problem." "When the left says something should not be taken seriously, it is good if we start to fear," said Viktor Orbán.

This is another interview in which the Hungarian Prime Minister speaks of the "inevitable confrontation" with the Russian Federation. "By helping Ukraine, the West is approaching a point of no return, after which confrontation with Russia will be inevitable," the Prime Minister declared in Friday's interview with public Radio Kossuth.

"When NATO truly begins its military mission in Ukraine, Hungary's territory and control over the Hungarian military units offered to NATO for participation will be transferred from national jurisdiction to NATO command," the politician said.

For this reason, Budapest opposes participating in such an action, wishing to guarantee its non-involvement in missions outside the Alliance's territory in conversations with the current and future NATO Secretary General.
