EU can provide up to 40 billion euros to Ukraine and "incredible number of weapons" - Siyarto

To spread: the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry stressed that his country is against the allocation of a new military assistance package to Ukraine, since Hungary cannot allow billions of euros to spend billions at a time when "hope for peace is stronger than ever".

Hungary Foreign Minister Peter Siyarto during a press conference in Brussels stated that the European Union was discussing the possibility of providing Ukraine with additional assistance in the amount of 20 to 40 billion euros, as well as an "incredible amount of weapons". About it reports the Hungarian edition Heti Világgazdaság.

"There are amounts of 20 to 40 billion euros, which the European Union allegedly has to send in addition to Ukraine, as well as an incredible amount of weapons," he told reporters. The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry also noted that his country would vote against the allocation of new military assistance package to Ukraine, and will oppose the continuation of EU sanctions on Russia.

According to him, Hungary believes that such measures interfere with possible negotiations between the US and Russia. "We do not support the idea that new billions of euros Europeans are spent on the continuation of the war now when their hope for peace is stronger than ever. So we will not agree to anything like Initiatives that threaten the success of current US-Russian negotiations, "Siyarto said.

According to the Hungarian Minister, the settlement of the conflict is possible only through direct negotiations between Washington and Moscow. He expressed pleasure that such contacts began, and noted that Hungary would do everything possible so that they were not blocked by other EU countries. "Let's have a clearness. In our fundamental interests, so that these negotiations are successful.

That is why we are concerned about the conspiracy of the leading European liberals trying to block this Agreement," the Hungarian Minister wrote earlier on Facebook. According to the Foreign Minister, Hungary will continue to defend its independent position and withstand pressure from other EU countries. He stressed that his country will not agree to pay tens of billions of euros for supplying weapons to Ukraine and will not support the expansion of the EU sanction list.
