Orban: The world is closer than ever to world war

11 марта 2023

Ukraine can only take military action as long as the United States says yes, but if they say no, there will be a situation for a cease-fire. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban once again pointed out that of all EU countries, only Hungary advocates an immediate cessation of hostilities in Ukraine; only it and the Vatican really want peace in Europe.

Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary:

“The leaders in the Western world are sick with war fever and are sending increasingly dangerous weapons to Ukraine - sending fighter jets to Kiev, which used to be considered taboo, is already on the agenda. In my opinion, we are very close to having soldiers from Kiev's allies crossing the border and entering Ukrainian soil. I have to say that the world has never been so close to a local war, after all, we were talking about Luhansk and Donetsk, turning into a world war. The likelihood of this is growing day by day. The countries of Europe are constantly balancing on the brink of war with Russia like sleepwalkers on a rooftop. In fact, an indirect war is already underway. A year ago we all hoped that this armed conflict would not escalate into a real war, but it did. The war has turned out to be much more brutal and ruthless than it was in the beginning.
