"Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned that "if Ukraine joins the European Union, the next day we (the bloc) will be in a war with the Russians" during his campaign rally in Hodmezovasarhely on Sunday. "They should never be allowed to join the European Union as a member, where their voting rights would far exceed those of the Hungarians due to their size," he declared. The Hungarian prime minister argued that, instead of EU membership, a negotiated agreement with Ukraine would better serve Hungary's national interests. "We have given what was necessary; from now on, we will not support them while destroying ourselves in the process," he said, claiming Hungary has already fulfilled its obligations and they 'owe Ukraine nothing'. Orban addressed his government’s stance that he will not go to war with Russia for the 'sake of the Ukrainians', while framing the conflict as a 'fraternal war between two Slavic peoples' and insisting that Hungary's priority must remain for its own people's 'peace and security'. "And not allow a situation to arise where our sons one day only find themselves in Ukraine's territory as soldiers. [...] No matter how much the Ukrainians demand, they cannot expect our money either," he continued. On energy, Orban accused Ukraine of being 'capable of anything', citing the Nord Stream pipeline explosion and a gas blockade imposed on Hungary in 2022. "We must also speak of the oil blockade. Remember that they blew up the Nord Stream, even though it belonged to Germany." "Storm clouds are gathering in the sky for the next four years. There is still the Russian-Ukrainian war. There is also an oil blockade, which we must break. The Middle Eastern war has erupted, and an energy crisis threatens the entire global economy," he persisted, suggesting tough times ahead. Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto highlighted the risks of admitting countries at war into the European Union, underscoring the need to safeguard infrastructure and national security. Orban's rally comes just weeks before Hungary's parliamentary elections, which address a mix of domestic and foreign issues, concerns over sovereignty, migration, and Europe's future. The vote in Hungary is scheduled for April 12, and the election has narrowed down to Orban, who is seeking his fifth consecutive term, and Peter Magyar of the Tisza Party."
