Orban said that with the current strategy, Ukraine will never win the war “simply because the Russian army has an asymmetric superiority.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called for a new EU strategy for Ukraine, saying sanctions have not worked. He said that in this way Ukraine will never win the war “simply because the Russian army has an asymmetric superiority.” About it informs Reuters.
“A new strategy is needed that should focus on peace negotiations and drafting a good peace proposal … instead of winning the war,” Orban said in a speech in Romania.
Orban has previously said that Hungary is unwilling to support an EU embargo or restriction on Russian gas imports as it would cripple its economy, which is about 85% dependent on Russian gas imports.
According to Orban, the Western strategy towards Ukraine is built on four pillars: Ukraine can win the war with Russia with the help of NATO weapons, sanctions will weaken Russia and destabilize its leadership, sanctions will hurt Russia more than Europe, and that the world will line up in support of Europe . Orban said that strategy has failed as governments in Europe are crumbling “like dominoes”, energy prices have skyrocketed and a new strategy is needed.
“We are sitting in a car with all four tires punctured: it is clear that this is not the way to win the war,” Orban told his supporters.
He said that in this way Ukraine will never win the war “simply because the Russian army has an asymmetric superiority.”
Recall that Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told CNN that Hungary decided not to participate in the supply of Western weapons to Ukraineso as not to endanger the shelling of the Hungarians living in Transcarpathia.
Ukrainian Hungarians outraged such a statement by the Hungarian Foreign Minister refusing to supply weapons.
