Reiterated Call by Hungary for Diplomacy

The Hungarian ruling parties Fidesz and Christian Democrats submitted a draft peace proposal for the Ukraine war into Hungary’s Parliament on March 2. Such a peace could save thousands of lives, they state, whereas the continued delivery of weapons could lead to a Third World War. The proposal condemns the Russian military operation and recognizes the Ukrainian right of self-defense; it also points out that the EU/NATO sanctions have not brought Russia “to its knees,” but instead have created increasing fuel prices that have only damaged Europe in a dramatic way. Inside Ukraine, many ethnic Hungarians have been conscripted into the military, and have lost their lives, whereas the Kiev regime denies them the right to speak their language.
