The Anglo-American drive for nuclear war against Russia is being opposed by at least two of the so-called front line states—Bulgaria and Hungary. Bulgarian President Rumen Radev said in an interview with Darik Radio yesterday that sending weapons to Ukraine is like pouring gasoline on a fire. “I cannot accept the position that the war in Ukraine is a war of values, when the greatest value is peace and human life,” he said, reported the English-language news site Bulgaria Posten. “Giving arms means putting out the fire with gasoline, agreeing that there will be many more victims and accepting the position that the war must be waged until the complete collapse of one side, which inevitably and gradually pushes us towards a global conflict with the possibility of nuclear self-destruction.”
“I continue to defend my position that Bulgaria should not send weapons to this conflict,” the President said. According to him, anyone who defends the opposite position must not only know the deep political and historical roots of the conflict, but also present an analysis of the risks and consequences of such a decision both in terms of our armaments and socio-economically. Radev said that with the calls to achieve “peace through war,” we are flying headlong towards Orwell’s dystopia and his writing “war is peace.” “We are running out of weapons today, but if at some point people start running out, then what will we do?”
Similarly, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said yesterday that Hungary will not let itself be entrapped into the armed conflict in Ukraine. “We are not drifting into the spiraling bloody war and want a ceasefire and peace talks,” the M1 television channel quoted him as saying, reported TASS. He vowed that Hungary will not yield to the pressure from other countries and will not change its position on the Ukrainian conflict. “Sirens luring us to ‘take the right side of history’ will not drag us into this trap. We must stay on the Hungarian side of history even in the most difficult situations,” he stressed.
