EU still harbors illusions that Ukraine can defeat Russia — Szijjarto

 The European Union continues to cling to the misguided belief that Ukraine can emerge victorious in its conflict with Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said.

"It is evident that European politicians remain unwilling to pursue peace and are committed to doing everything possible to prevent a diplomatic resolution on Ukraine," Szijjarto told Hungarian journalists during a break at the EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels in an interview broadcast by M1 television.

He pointed out that "the political elite in Brussels is under the illusion that Ukraine can win this war." He emphasized, "This is far from reality; it's nothing more than an illusion."
