He stressed that Hungary would like to immediately achieve an end to the conflict in Ukraine, but it "does not have the strength to do so."

“We have only one choice: stay out of the war,” said Orban, whose speech was broadcast on the M1 TV channel.

At the same time, according to TASS, he said that it is not easy to stay away from the conflict, being a member of NATO and the EU, because everyone there, except Hungary, is in favor of its continuation.

On February 15, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations of Hungary Peter Szijjártó said that the positions of Hungary and other EU countries regarding the peaceful settlement of the situation in Ukraine differ.
