Hungarian PM reprimands West for funding Ukraine while Ukrainians are dying
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said that "peace plans" cannot end the war in Ukraine, but only a "truce".

Details: Orbán stated that the war in Ukraine cannot be stopped by "having a 'peace plan' and waiting for something to happen – first, there must be an early, immediate and unconditional ceasefire".
"Europe's first mistake was to globalise this war. The only country that said on the day the war broke out that it should be localised was ours... The strategy of the West is that Ukrainians fight and die, and we give them money, information and weapons," Orbán said.
He added that this "strategy" did not work because Ukraine has a smaller population, "so we should send our troops, but no one dares to do that".
Orbán went on to mention the "significant price" that Hungary and the entire European Union are paying to support Ukraine: "We have already sent €70 billion and now we are discussing whether to send another €50 billion, while the EU needs every cent to regain its competitiveness."
Background: Representatives of the Hungarian authorities do not hesitate to repeat the lies of Russian propaganda. In particular, the day before, the Minister of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, Gergely Gulyás, said that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had not brought "any significant results" and that Budapest's position on negotiations was justified.
