Russian Embassy in Budapest issues a war statement

The Russian Embassy in Budapest issued a statement on the war in Ukraine on Wednesday.

The two communiqués of the Russian Embassy state the country’s already known position on the war (which it continues to call a special operation) and its background, while also mentioning a possible escalation with NATO, Index reported.

In connection with the latter, the embassy also mentions the issue of the F-16 fighter jets to be delivered by NATO to Ukraine. According to them,

the delivery of the aircraft “would risk a direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia.”

They note that these aircraft are capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons.

The embassy also says that “the original foundations of Ukraine’s sovereignty – its neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status – must be reaffirmed.”

According to them, the “independence” (in practice, the annexation to Russia) of Crimea, Donbass and the South-Eastern Ukraine was solely the result of the “coup d’état” of 2014 (the overthrow of then-President Viktor Yanukovych), and Ukraine’s territorial integrity was undermined by “supporters of the Kyiv regime” who “overthrew the legitimate president of Ukraine”.
