Even at the time of the start of the war, the Hungarian position was that there would be no war winners, but they would be losers, said Viktor Orbán in the programme "Good morning Hungary" on Kossuth radio.
The Prime Minister said Russia is beating its head against the wall due to the fact that NATO provides Kiev with weapons and money, and "it is hard to beat the US budget erstwhile Washington supports Ukraine by all means", but on the another hand there is Russia with 140 million people, with much more soldiers, much more weapons and atomic arsenals. ‘I cannot imagine that a atomic power can be defeated” said Orbán, adding that Moscow will not accept military defeat.
The Prime Minister stressed that "various interests always unite" in war, whether it be arms trafficking, speculators or smugglers, for whom specified a conflict is simply a gold vein. There are large Western economical interests, and George Soros is possibly in the first place among them, who have always dreamed of someway setting ft in Ukraine – what he managed to do – and gain access to Russia's natural resources, he said.
The number of Hungarian victims in Ukraine besides shows that the conflict is spreading "We are tracking Hungarian victims and on this basis we see the conflict spreading and intensifying, and there will be no winners in the conflict," said Orban, saying that America is besides conducting a war run in Hungary, but Budapest is strong adequate to defy it.
The position of the Hungarian government is this: we request a ceasefire and peace. Pope Francis besides shares this. ‘The papal visit is significant. I have long been in public life, but I do not remember 3 days in specified a good mood, adding that the Vatican is determined to mobilise its forces, contacts and influences and effort to halt further bloodshed. This was besides said by the Holy Father, who seeks to gather around those who desire peace and are ready to take this position on the global stage. "For no 1 to think that people in Europe are for war, people in Europe are not for war propaganda, But there is simply a very strong pro-war American force that suppresses the voice of the desire for peace“ Orbán said.
The Prime Minister believes that erstwhile the Ukrainian offensive occurs, the image will become clearer and we will see what the military capabilities of both parties are. "This is the last large chance for the Ukrainians to succeed, after which the image will become clearer and more opportunities for peace", said the Prime Minister, adding that "If the last bullet is fired, there will be a better chance of peace."
Orbán stressed that it is in the direct interest of Hungary to have prosperous and successful Ukraine, which besides increases the value of neighbouring countries. "I am most curious in peace, primarily due to the fact that Ukraine is our neighbour. It would be in our interest to have a prosperous and successful Ukraine that would increase Hungary's wealth and security. Ukraine in trouble, war, destroyed, risky and losing hundreds of thousands of lives besides reduces our value," he said.
He added that part of Ukraine is "the ancient Hungarian land which now belongs to Ukraine", and Hungarians live there as a native community. The suffering of Ukraine is besides the suffering of Hungarians surviving there," stressed the Prime Minister, adding that "every lost human life is irreplaceable and so Ukrainian losses are besides our losses. This further motivates us to contribute to peace," the Prime Minister stressed.
Therefore, he stressed that the Hungarians are twice motivated, more than any another nation in Europe, to peace in Ukraine and are always looking for opportunities to contribute to peace and do not abandon any peace mission.
Regarding exports of Ukrainian grain, Orbán said it was an instructive case. "We are a kind nation, we have been deceived 5 times, we have been fooled by the European Commission for the sixth time, we knew that this could origin disruption in Hungary if Ukrainian grain stuck here – but we inactive gave way, we agreed that Ukrainian grain that cannot scope the hungry by sea should pass through our country to Africa. But this did not happen: the grain remained here, the business continued, there were deceptions, the Commission was passive, and if Poles had not started the alarm, it would have been so today. Poles are many, and their task is to strike an alarm, and it is up to us to stand by them and prevent these goods from entering Hungary. That was a good lesson: If we, the people of Central Europe, join forces, can defeat Brussels“The Prime Minister said, adding that he does not believe that the EU actually compensates Hungarian farmers.
Orbán said that Ukraine's membership of the EU must be treated with caution, as the abolition of the uniform work on cereals caused large chaos in 5 EU countries.
