Hungary Warns Against Western Troop Plans in Ukraine
On Tuesday, leaders from the UK and France announced they had signed a “declaration of intent” to dispatch forces to Ukraine “in the event of a peace deal” with Moscow. This pledge came despite Russia’s firm rejection of any foreign troop presence within the country.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking in Paris alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, explained that these forces would establish “military hubs” across Ukraine.
The announcement followed a meeting of the so called “coalition of the willing,” a group of Kiev’s Western supporters advocating for continued assistance, which critics argue is hindering peace negotiations.
“The Coalition of the Willing made yet another proposal that pushes Europe closer to direct confrontation with Russia,” Szijjarto wrote on X. “By seeking to establish a military presence in Ukraine, Western European countries are creating the risk of a direct war with Russia.” He emphasized that Budapest “will stay out” of the initiative.
The Hungarian diplomat reiterated his country’s stance in favor of diplomacy. “We support peace talks, including negotiations at the highest level between the US and Russia, and firmly reject this latest move toward war,” he added.
