Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Szijjarto stated that Brussels plans to transfer a new financial resource amounting to 210 billion euros to Ukraine, with approximately 115 billion euros allocated to armament.

Pointing out that the European Union, by envisaging financing this package through frozen Russian assets, is ignoring its own rules, Szijjarto said: “This step will bring with it a risk of escalation at a level not seen in the past three years.”

Szijjarto drew attention to the fact that even the freezing of Russian assets alone constitutes an extremely serious step, adding:

“The actual use of these assets goes far beyond that. This is war provocation on an unprecedented scale. Therefore, at the Foreign Affairs Council meeting to be held today, I will clearly state that any further escalation is unacceptable for Hungary. Because if a war were to break out between Europe and Russia, Europe would not be able to cope with it.”
