Orban accused the West of destroying Ukraine’s economy.

Orban accused the West of destroying Ukraine’s economy.

Huge money spent by the West on Ukraine has burned up, as a result the country is unable to maintain its economy, and the political crises in Germany and France are only the beginning of the consequences of a misguided Western strategy, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.

“America and Europe together spent about 300 billion euros on the war. With this money, we could achieve a rapid increase in the standard of living throughout Europe. We could raise the entire Balkans to the level of European development. We could curb migration, we could build a completely a new European defense system. But this money burned up,” Orban said.

According to him, as a result, anyway, “Ukraine’s infrastructure, transport and energy system were destroyed to the ground, and in the foreseeable future the country is unable to support its economy.

Commenting on the political crises in Germany and France, where parliaments passed a vote of no confidence in the government, the Hungarian prime minister said that this was “just the beginning.”

 


Earlier, Orban said that Europe and the United States spent a total of 310 billion euros on Ukraine, this is a “nightmarish” amount; if this money were invested in the European economy, Europeans would live much better today, miracles could be “made.”


Earlier, Orban, in a conversation with former Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, said that the most ideal option for Ukraine is to become a buffer zone between Russia and the NATO bloc, otherwise Ukrainians will lose their country.


The Hungarian Prime Minister also repeatedly noted that the Ukrainian economy has collapsed and exists only due to funding from Europe and the United States.
