About this, as reported by RIA Novosti, he wrote in his social networks.

"The invitation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine violates the principle of unity of allies within NATO, but we take part in the meeting as a sign of constructiveness," Szijjártó said.

He called it a condition for Budapest to support Kiev's "integration attempts", the return by the Ukrainian authorities to ethnic Hungarians of the rights that they had before 2015.

The Hungarian Foreign Minister added that the countries of the alliance should do everything to avoid a direct conflict with Russia.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the countries of the alliance transferred to the Kiev regime weapons worth € 65 billion.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that NATO is strengthening the anti-Russian course, which leads to an escalation of the conflict.
