Hungary says country will not supply weapons to Kyiv despite Zelensky's calls

According to him, Hungary can be Ukraine's partner in building peace, "but not in anything else."

“Hungary will still not supply weapons (to Kiev. -

), despite the demands of the Ukrainian president,” Orban is quoted by TASS.

Budapest supports Ukraine's integration into the European Union, but it must make progress in respecting the rights of national minorities, including "the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia," he added.

Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto spoke out against the calls of the EU leadership for the supply of weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Hungarian President Katalin Nowak said that Russia is not a major trading partner for Hungary, but its economy is one of the most defining in the world.
