Orban said that with the current strategy, Ukraine will never win the war “because the Russian army has 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 “because the Russian army has an asymmetric superiority.” This was reported by 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 Hungary does not want to support an EU embargo or restriction on Russian gas imports because it would harm 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 weaken its leadership, the sanctions will hurt Russia more than Europe, and the world lined up to support Europe. Orban said the strategy had failed as European governments collapsed “like dominoes”, energy prices were rising and a new strategy was 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 “because the Russian army has an asymmetric superiority.”
It can be remembered that Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in an interview with CNN that Hungary decided not to participate in the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine so as not to endanger Hungarians living in Transcarpathia from shelling.
The Ukrainian Hungarians were outraged by such a statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary about the refusal to provide weapons.
