Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has stated that Hungary owes nothing to Ukraine, Euronews<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Euronews the day before, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that “Orbán has to offer something for Ukraine, which is protecting the whole Europe from Russia.”<\/p>\n

“Even now, during this war, we did not get any support from him, support for our vision of life,” Zelensky stated.<\/p>\n

Orbán dismissed the comments in a statement released shortly after the Euronews interview.<\/p>\n

“I must reject the suggestion that Hungary owes Ukraine anything. Ukraine does not defend Hungary from anyone or anything. We did not ask for such a thing, and we never will. Hungary’s security is guaranteed by our national defense capabilities and by NATO, of which Ukraine is fortunately not a member,” Orbán said.<\/p>\n

He noted that Hungary has provided approximately €200 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and continues to supply gas and electricity to the war-torn country.<\/p>\n

Orbán also reiterated Hungary’s opposition to Ukraine’s EU membership bid.<\/p>\n

“Hungary does not and will not support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, because it would bring the war into Europe and take the money of Hungarians to Ukraine,” Orbán said, adding that he would prefer to see Ukraine as a strategic partner of the EU rather than a full member.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
