The prime minister said the winner of the EC's latest plan is Ukraine, and its biggest losers are European citizens.
The prime minister said the government was fulfilling its commitment to keep Hungary out of the war in Ukraine and to keep migrants out of the country.
The prime minister said, "we are doomed" if they entered, and "there is no way back".
The Hungarian government called on the European Union to include Ukrainian leaders who are responsible for the death of Hungarian national József Sebestyén on its human rights sanctions list.
The prime minister said József Sebestyén had been "beaten to death during forced conscription" in Ukraine's Transcarpathia province.
In a candid appearance on the Pikk Extra podcast, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán engaged in a wide-ranging discussion with journalists Zsolt Bayer and Áron Ambrózy, touching on the challenges facing Hungary and the wider European political landscape.
The prime minister said in the Fighters Club Facebook group that József Sebestyen had been carried away by force from Berehove (Beregszasz), beaten up several times and then taken to the hospital.
"Hungary is the first country to have held a referendum on Ukraine’s EU membership," PM Orbán said.
The prime minister said the government's Vote 2025 survey on Ukraine's EU membership had been "justified joint action" on the part of Hungarians.
Ukrainian conscription officers had beaten a Transcarpathian man with Hungarian citizenship, who died in the hospital three weeks after the incident, on July 6.
Prime Minister Orbán firmly condemned the death of a Hungarian citizen in Ukraine, resulting from forced military conscription.
The prime minister said he was expecting a "chaotic" session in the European Parliament with "MEPs voting on whether Ursula von der Leyen should continue at the helm of Brussels bureaucracy".
