Another veto? Hungarian minister warns of “tough day” at EU meeting in Brussels

“After three years of war now there is a chance for peace, therefore we’ll do everything to prevent Brussels and pro-war Europeans from thwarting an American-Russian agreement aimed at achieving peace,” the foreign minister said on Facebook on Monday morning. EU meeting starts in Brussels:

Péter Szijjártó said ahead of a ministerial meeting in Brussels that “we have held the position all along that it was only an American-Russian deal that could result in ending the war.” “The pro-peace American president has brought about a long awaited turn: negotiations have started concerning peace and on settling American-Russian ties,” he added. “Let us make it clear: both those aims are in our fundamental interest. It is therefore in our fundamental interest, too, that those talks are successful. “That is why we find actions by pro-war European liberals to thwart the agreement worrying,” the foreign minister said.

Concerning the upcoming meeting of EU foreign ministers, Szijjarto said “we will see each other in the eye and there will be great pressure but we will not give in … for three years we have withstood the pressure to get involved in their pro-war policy, and now we will endure”. “We will not consent to forge ahead through extending the regime of sanctions against persons; we will not approve of paying further tens of billions of euros for arms and … we will not ask what security guarantees Ukraine needs but what such guarantees we Hungarians will need.”

“It will be a tough day,” Szijjártó said.
