“If you supply weapons, if you provide satellite information, if you train soldiers of one of the warring parties ... then, no matter what you say, you are participating in the war, so far indirectly,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Orban noted that, for example, Germany began with the supply of helmets to Kyiv, and later lethal weapons.

“Fighters are already on the agenda, soon we will hear about the so-called peacekeeping troops,” he said.

Orban also noted that Hungary will not allow it to be drawn into the Ukrainian conflict, although this will not be easy, because everyone in NATO and the EU is in favor of continuing hostilities.

Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz appealed to Western countries to start supplying Ukraine with more modern tanks.
