The Hungarian government has sent out an email on Friday, 10 May concerning its standpoint on the NATO plans in Ukraine to members of the public who had already provided their contact details.

There is no possibility of a settlement on the battlefield and a return to negotiations is therefore needed, the Government Information Centre (KTK) stated in connection with reports of a NATO plan to set up a mission in Ukraine encompassing military training and the coordination of arms shipments.

The email said that

NATO wanted to ‘pump’ $100 billion dollars into the war over a period of five years,

‘so it’s likely that the conflict will be prolonged by at least five years’.

‘What we see is the worst-case scenario that could lead to a world war,’ the communiqué said, adding that Hungary was under huge pressure to back plans to broaden the war. It went on to state that the government’s position was clear: ‘We want to stay out of the war. We do not want to take part in the NATO mission.’

The statement added dded that the government would do everything to ensure that Hungary ‘does not send weapons and soldiers’.

‘Lives can be saved only with a ceasefire and through peace,’

the public statement concluded.
