Hungary will not finance the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine if the United States officially proposes such an initiative to the European Union, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto stated in response to journalists’ questions about reports of possible renewed US military aid to Kiev.
"I would like to emphasize that Hungarian money, Hungarian weapons, and Hungarian soldiers will not be sent to Ukraine. Nothing will be sent there," the foreign minister said at a press conference following a meeting in Budapest with Morocco’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour.
At the same time, Szijjarto expressed confidence that the potential resumption of US arms deliveries to Ukraine does not mean President Donald Trump has abandoned efforts to resolve the conflict. "I can only say that no one has done as much for peace in Ukraine as Trump. And if European and Ukrainian leaders had not obstructed Donald Trump in recent months, these peace efforts could have been far more successful," the minister noted.
