Speaking on Kossuth Radio, Hungarian Foreign Ministry Secretary of State Tamas Menczer expressed his shock at the fact the the European Union rejected the very idea of at least mentioning the need for a ceasefire and negotiations to end the Ukraine conflict, in the EU statement on the first anniversary of the conflict.
“Even knowing that Brussels represents the position of the ‘party of war', we were still shocked…. When we, the Hungarians, suggested that the documents on the occasion of the anniversary of the start [of Russia’s special military operation]... contain calls for an immediate ceasefire and the start of talks, they were rejected in each case.” He added that Brussels “not aloud, and sometimes even aloud, made it clear that the immediate cessation of the war is a red line, they do not accept this, because they think the war must be continued until Ukraine wins.”
