"The mood here is in support of the war and the supply of even more weapons to Ukraine," Peter Szijjarto said. Budapest's position is to end the Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible, he said.

The Deputy Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament, Dora Duro, said that in order for Ukraine to join NATO without the risks of armed conflict, Russia's approval is necessary. She stressed that Budapest does not yet see any reason that would allow the country to support the expansion of NATO at the expense of Ukraine.
