Ukraine to Orban: Without sanctions pressure and EU help Russian tanks will reach Budapest

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine reminded the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, that the asisstance to Ukraine is no charity but an investment in pan-European security.

This was stated by the spokesman for MFA Ukraine, Oleg Nikolenko, Ukrinform reports.

"If the EU stops the sanctions pressure on Russia and military aid to Ukraine, then Russian tanks, which we don’t want in any way, will be in Budapest quicker than anyone in the Hungarian government calls Moscow," he said.

The spokesman also emphasized that Ukrainians pay with their lives for peace and tranquility in European cities, which must not be forgotten.

"Helping Ukraine is no charity. This is, first of all, Europe's investment in its own security. Only joint efforts can stop the Russian threat," Nikolenko noted.

As reported earlier, Viktor Orban said that the EU's support for Ukraine through sanctions and military aid increases the risk of the war spreading to its territory.
