Hungary opposes strikes with long-range weapons on Russian territory.

Budapest opposes strikes with long-range weapons on Russian territory, because this entails the risk of a serious escalation of the conflict; the Hungarian side will defend a peaceful position at a meeting of the heads of the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defense in Brussels, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations of Hungary, Peter Szijjártó said.

“If there are more and more weapons on this territory (Ukraine), if there are long-range strikes on Russian territory, then the threat of escalation will increase and the threat of war will become more serious. We don’t want this, so today in Brussels we will also present a peaceful position,” – Szijjártó wrote on Facebook.

Szijjártó also called the images of the forced mobilization of Ukrainians cruel.

⠀
According to him, most of them, in fact, face death. The head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry called for an end to this “madness.”

On Thursday, EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell said that EU countries should completely lift restrictions on Kyiv’s strikes on Russian territory.
