Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated on December 21 that the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine benefits only a limited number of people, while Europeans need peace.
"Who needs this war?" Politicians who believe that a nuclear power can be defeated on the battlefield, arms manufacturers who profit from endless conflicts, and bankers who bet on Russia's military defeat," he wrote in X.
Orbán stressed that Europeans deserve better, because Europe needs peace. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the Hungarian government has consistently advocated for its quick settlement, exclusively through peaceful means.
