Summary

Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected an EU proposal to send Ukraine an additional €20 billion ($22 billion) in aid, stating Hungary will not fund arms shipments.

He instead claimed to be advocating for peace negotiations, aligning with Donald Trump’s push for a swift settlement.

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly obstructed EU sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine.

While the EU extended sanctions unanimously, concerns are growing over Budapest’s opposition to unified action on Ukraine as European leaders push for stronger support.

    Lucky for me that I’m Norwegian then. And guess what, mine and a lot of Norwegians moral compass align with the EUs, in general. Especially now with the current regime in the US who clearly see us as adversaries or even enemies, these are our closest moral and ethical allies. At least when it comes to the Russian invasion, which again, this post is about!

    Of course I’m arguing from a perceived moral high ground. Why on earth would I argue from a position where I meant I was in the wrong?

    And just to be absolutely clear. There’s not a single Nation I can think of who’s handled Israel’s despicable actions in the right way. We can only hope the people in charge will see consequences for their actions. That doesn’t mean people of those nations aren’t entitled to take an ethical and moral standpoint.

    I’m going to stop replying now. Have a good day
