NATO was started 75 years ago with the aim of protecting the security of its members, the Prime Minister reminded.

NATO should win peace, not the wars going on around it, the Prime Minister pointed out in a video uploaded to Facebook before the NATO summit in Washington.

The prime minister added: today it seems to be moving away from its original purpose, and is behaving more and more like a war organization. One of the signs of this is that NATO is taking an increasingly active role in the Russian-Ukrainian war, he added.

In our opinion, this is dangerous, even irresponsible, because no one can see how this will end, where we will end up, said Viktor Orbán.

The prime minister will argue that NATO should return to its original spirit.

"NATO should not win the wars going on around it, but the peace. For this, we should primarily develop our own defense capabilities. On behalf of Hungary, I will therefore confirm today that we will not continue to participate in the NATO Ukraine mission, but we will fully comply with our obligations regarding the development of Hungarian defense capabilities," said the prime minister in Washington.
