With his statement, the NATO Secretary General essentially stabbed the peace negotiations in the back. We Hungarians, as members of the bloc, reject the Secretary General’s words! Szijjártó wrote on his Facebook page, where he described the provocative statements as irresponsible and dangerous.
The Hungarian Foreign Minister reacted to Rutte’s speech last Wednesday at a forum in Berlin, in which he urged Europeans to prepare for a war like the one their “grandparents and great-grandparents” experienced, and reiterated that Ukraine’s security is essential to that of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Local analysts believe the strong rejection underscores the deep division within the Atlantic alliance, while the open criticism of its top official by one member of the military bloc is unusual and symptomatic.
The diplomatic incident comes at a time of heightened tension, with the North Atlantic alliance conducting its largest military exercises in decades and Hungary maintaining its veto on funds and decisions related to Ukraine, insisting that European security must be guaranteed through diplomacy and deterrence, not through unchecked escalation.
Hungary’s position aligns with the repeated statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who have asserted that Moscow has no intention of attacking NATO or EU countries, dismissing such accusations as “nonsense” and “outright lies.”
