Viktor Orbán: “If Brussels stopped foiling the US President’s peace mission, the war in Ukraine would already be over”

The billions given to Ukraine is not a waste of money, but an investment. For them, the war is not some horror, but an opportunity. Ukraine has not been sovereign, has not been independent and definitely has not been self-sufficient for a long time; its fate is in the hands of others, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stresses.

We will not go to war and will not die for Ukraine, but will live for Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on Thursday at Kossuth tér in Budapest. The Prime Minister described the Peace March arriving at the square as Europe’s most important political movement.

Mr Orbán, who started his speech – referring to the size of the crowd – by saying that “you can even see this from space,” said the Peace March is perhaps the whole of Europe’s biggest national and patriotic movement which has been able to defend its country against the liberal zeitgeist and the Brussels oppressors.

He added that today, millions of Europeans – from Portugal through Germany to Lithuania – would like such a political force and movement for themselves; they would give an arm to have a migrant-free country again; and would give years of their lives if they could send packing and banish “crazy gender activists” from schools.

They would give their all if they could have a free, Christian and patriotic country again, he stated.

In continuation, the Prime Minister said: Brussels has decided to go to war. The pro-war countries have already formed a war alliance which they call “with inimitable elegance” the ‘coalition of the willing.’

“They’re willing to send others to die. They’re ready to send even more weapons, even more money to Ukraine. They declared the Russo-Ukrainian war their own war, and with this, they have entered it. They’re in it up to their necks,” he added.

He took the view that if Brussels stopped foiling the US President’s peace mission, the war would already be over. Everybody knows: if Donald Trump had been president, the war would not have even broken out, and if he was not foiled now at every turn, there would already be peace, he stressed.

He highlighted: this war – though it is not our war – is also taking its toll on our lives. The war is blocking the growth of the European and Hungarian economies. They have poured 185 billion euros into this hopeless war so far. And now, they want to pull further tens of billions from the pockets of the Europeans, including ours.

The money of the European people is being poured into Ukraine uncounted, and what we receive in return: high energy prices, wartime inflation, national economies balancing on the edge of the abyss, and locks on the gates of once world-famous European factories. As long as the war lasts, there will be no economic growth in Europe, the Prime Minister stated.

Mr Orbán said Brussels has run out of money. They have no money, but want to wage a war. This is why they want to raise taxes, this is why they want to tax pensions, this is why they want to do away with the reduction of household energy bills. They want to make us pay war reparations. And this is why they want to push Ukraine into the European Union at any cost. To bring the war into Europe, and to take the money out to Ukraine.

The billions given to Ukraine is not a waste of money, but an investment. For them, the war is not some horror, but an opportunity. Buying countries, partitioning countries in a war is the cheapest way. Ukraine has not been sovereign, has not been independent and definitely has not been self-sufficient for a long time; its fate is in the hands of others.

The Prime Minister took the view that the cooperation of European peoples had for centuries been the greatest idea; yet, it had turned into Brussels oppression.

“You can’t come to an agreement with them. They only know submission. Those who come to an agreement with Brussels submit to Brussels. They have submitted to migration and have submitted to the war plans. There is no golden mean. European Union yes, Brussels no,” he stated.
