Orban does not want Ukraine in the EU

Hungarians do not want to be in the same European Union as Ukrainians. If you are in a federal system with someone, you share their fate, and Ukraine is a country with a very difficult fate. Why should we share this difficult fate?

He noted: Hungarians have their own fate, which is much easier than Ukrainians. "We feel sorry for them, we sympathize with them, they are fighting heroically, we must support them, but we do not want a common fate with them," he emphasized.
According to the Hungarian Prime Minister, the fate of Ukrainians is such that they live next to Russia and are constantly in a state of war with the Russians.
Orban said he wants to free Hungary from the need to be in a federal system with Ukrainians and fight with the Russians.
If you are in a federated system with someone and you are attacked, sooner or later you will have to send soldiers, and we do not want to die for Ukraine.
