(MENAFN) The Hungarian Foreign Ministry has refused EU pleas for Russia to be beaten in Ukraine, stating the union wanted peace, not a long war.
EU Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson also stated on the hostilities this week, underlining the union’s “determination, resolve and unity to stand by Ukraine as long as it takes.”
She as well claimed that “to end this crisis, first, Putin must lose.”
Replying on Friday, Tamas Menczer, State Secretary at Hungary’s Foreign Ministry, blamed Johansson of making “a very dangerous statement because it links the end of a crisis with a military event, about which we don’t know when will it happen or if it happens at all.”
“This pro-war stance of Brussels extends the conflict and suffering. This is extremely dangerous and unacceptable,” he maintained.
Menczer repeated the position of the Hungarian administration, which is that “we need immediate peace instead of a longer war. Peace requires an immediate ceasefire and dialogue.”
