Hungarian Prime Minister: The ideal option for Ukraine is to become a buffer zone between Russia and NATO
(Baonghean.vn) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that ideally, Ukraine would become a buffer zone between Russia and NATO; at the same time, Mr. Orban saw no threat of Russia attacking a NATO member country.
According to RIA Novosti, Mandiner newspaper quoted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a conversation with former Austrian Prime Minister Wolfgang Schuessel on March 29 as saying that the most ideal option for Ukraine is to become a buffer zone between Russia and NATO.
"The Hungarian Prime Minister noted that it is necessary to take into account Ukraine's geographical position. For Kiev, as a direct neighbor of Russia, the ideal thing is to become a buffer zone and receive security guarantees," Mandier quoted Hungarian Prime Minister Vitor Orban as saying.
According to Prime Minister Orban, if this does not happen, Ukraine could lose control of its country, because Russia will never agree to let a former Soviet republic become a NATO member.
Prime Minister Orban said he saw no threat of a Russian attack on a NATO member.
Previously, in February 2024, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban emphasized that the European Union (EU) strategy towards Ukraine had failed not only on the battlefield, where "the situation is dire", but also politically.
In addition, Prime Minister Orban believes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to defeat the Russian army, no matter how much weapons and military support the West provides./.
