Economist László Bogár and military expert Ferenc Vukics were guests of Hír TV's Háború Ukrajnánáb

Before the discussion, Barnabás Gantner recalled Dmitro Kuleba's statement. The Ukrainian foreign minister previously stated that "after the victory in the war started by Russia, Ukraine will have the strongest armed forces in Europe" . The head of the Ukrainian ministry also spoke about the fact that the future of Euro-Atlantic security will now be decided on the Ukrainian battlefield.

Ferenc Vukics added to what was said that, as is well known, Kuleba went even further than anything else, as he said "it would not be wise to leave such a military power factor out of NATO". According to the military expert, this sounds a bit like an open threat, and all of this is overshadowed by the fact that the head of the Kyiv parliament's foreign affairs committee recently stated that "Hungary is struggling so much in relation to NATO integration cooperation that it would really be best if it left from the association," recalled Vukics.

According to the expert, it is important to clarify what is good for us. He then drew attention to the fact that "it is not good for a small country if a regional actor becomes too strong - it could be Ukraine, it could be Poland," he said. Ferenc Vukics also touched on hearing that extremist groups are being integrated into the Ukrainian army. "But it would not be lucky for NATO if such extreme elements appeared in its ranks," the expert underlined.

After that, it was recalled that shortly after the outbreak of the war, a Ukrainian military leader talked about how they could be at Lake Balaton in two hours if they wanted to. Before that, Pavel Zhebrivskyi, head of military administration, made a similar statement in an interview. In light of these, an armed Ukraine is puzzling.

Economist László Bogár responded that it was "a burlesque, especially in light of the second announcement" . He continued by saying that "a gigantic army has been built in the territory of a country called Ukraine, but it has nothing to do with Ukraine".

"So there is the problem that we cannot clarify historically what was is das Ukraine. It's like Ukraine never really was. It's not today, and it certainly won't be now. (...) Ukraine is a construction," the economist declared
