Hungary refused to send troops and weapons to Ukraine

Budapest does not plan to send troops and weapons to Ukraine. This was stated by Secretary of State of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry Gyorgy Velkely in an interview with Bloomberg.

“No soldiers and no weapons. It is in Hungary's interest to guarantee peace in Hungary. This is extremely important for us,” he said.

According to the Hungarian diplomat, support for Ukraine will be limited to energy supplies and humanitarian aid, even as the administration of Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar seeks closer rapprochement with the main activities of the European Union.

Earlier, Hungary's charge d'affaires in Russia, Gabor Gergeic, was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The department reported that a strong protest was lodged with the head of the diplomatic mission in connection with the groundless and unfriendly demand of the Hungarian authorities on September 8 for a number of Russian diplomatic employees to leave the country.
