Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the situation is getting increasingly severe in the Ukraine-Russia war, with recent "heartbreaking" events involving children, "and this can be expected to deteriorate further".
“There are more and more weapons and the war propaganda is getting stronger, with a severe looming danger of escalation,” Minister Szijjártó said on Facebook. “We have been warning of this for weeks”. “There’s only one solution; there’s only one way to stop the senseless destruction and massacre; there’s only one way to save people’s lives and prevent more severe developments: a ceasefire and peace talks”, the minister said. He added that this was the reason why the Hungarian leadership was setting off “on a peace mission” and paying a visit to Washington, DC. “We will represent this stance at the NATO summit: there is no solution on the battlefield,” he said. “It is impossible to comprehend why they cannot accept this”. “Yet, the draft resolutions for the next three days demonstrate a total lack of understanding, with NATO set to launch a mission in support of Ukraine,” he said. “We will stay out of this; we won’t supply weapons, we won’t provide troops, and we will not take part in financing,” he added.
