Budapest Expresses Outrage Over U.S. Decision
There has been a widespread outcry in Budapest following the U.S. decision to permit Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles on Russia. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has voiced concerns, stating that this could potentially escalate the war to a global level.
Foreign Minister’s Reaction
According to Szijjártó, the lifting of sanctions on Ukraine to attack Russia’s territory signifies a shift towards global conflict. He also indicated that the victory of Donald Trump in the White House has created an environment where the people are demanding peace. Szijjártó sees this move by the U.S. as a direct contradiction to this demand for peace.
Escalation of War
In a recent Facebook post, Szijjártó expressed his views that the pro-war mainstream has launched a desperate attack on this new reality. He believes that the allied forces are not withdrawing from the worst-case scenario of escalating the war to a global scale.
Washington’s Decision
The U.S. decided on Sunday to permit Ukraine to deploy its ATAC-MS missiles to strike Russia’s Kursk region. This area is currently occupied by North Korean troops sent by Kim Jong-un. Szijjártó has criticized this move, stating that politicians refusing to respect the will of the people is not only undemocratic but also extremely dangerous.
Hungary’s Stance
Hungary has been advocating for a ceasefire in Ukraine for several months. However, their proposals have been consistently rejected by Zelensky, who dismisses them as nonsensical. Szijjártó is scheduled to meet with EU foreign ministers in Brussels shortly, marking the first meeting since Trump’s victory.
Future Implications
Given Hungary’s close ties with Moscow, this recent development could make future negotiations and relations even more challenging. The escalating conflict in Ukraine and the involvement of other global powers could potentially lead to a significant shift in international dynamics.
