Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto warned yesterday that the war in neighboring Ukraine could go nuclear and, therefore, it must be ended as soon as possible. He recalled that after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, “Western politicians promised to supply the Ukrainian army only with helmets and blankets, then came weapons, tanks, multiple launch systems, warplanes and now the French President [Emmanuel Macron] is dreaming of sending ground troops to Ukraine.”
“Regrettably, this Western warmongering madness has gained a new dimension and grown into a nuclear war madness. We have already heard the French President’s statements [on sending troops to Ukraine], moreover, we have also heard the Polish President [Andrzej Duda] speaking about a potential nuclear war,” he said in a video address from Dushanbe, where he met with Tajik Foreign Minister Sirojiddin Mukhriddin, reported TASS.
According to the top Hungarian diplomat, “many European politicians are driving themselves to a military frenzy, saying that a nuclear strike may be delivered any moment.” “War madness has now emerged in the European political discourse,” he added. He stressed that such developments prove the need for an immediate end to the conflict in Ukraine. “A truce must be reached as soon as possible and the warring parties must sit down at the negotiating table,” Szijjarto said.
