Meeting of the Defense Council

“Military actions in recent days suggest that the war (in Ukraine, ed. note) will be longer and more brutal than we expected at the beginning of the year. We must be prepared for secret service operations, smear campaigns and war propaganda against Hungary will continue with even greater momentum than before,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on his social media page, indicating that he had convened a meeting of the Defense Council for Monday afternoon.

In a post on his Facebook page, Viktor Orbán wrote that we must face the fact that transatlantic unity has been severely damaged.

There has never been such a wide gap between the peace-loving forces led by Trump and the leaders in Brussels and Kyiv who want to continue the war,”

he added.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Hungary must remain on the side of peace, even if this means that its disputes with Brussels will become “louder.” He also stated that we must prepare for a protracted war, with all its security and economic consequences.

We must be prepared for Hungary being attacked with a double force because Hungary is an ally of President Trump and Hungary wants peace, not the continuation of war,”

he wrote.

The Prime Minister also announced that he had therefore convened a meeting of the Defense Council for Monday afternoon.

“We will prepare and defend Hungary and Hungarian families!” Orbán concluded.
