The Prime Minister held a press conference in Bratislava in connection with the stopped gas transit, after talks with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Viktor Orbán explained: aggressive and hostile statements are coming from Kiev. In response to a question, he said that this issue cannot be resolved with these statements.
Kiev is no longer sitting firmly in the saddle to afford this, changes are taking place in the world that are working against Kiev
- he said, indicating that he fully supports Robert Fico's efforts to find a negotiated solution to the difficult issue of gas transit.
The Hungarian Prime Minister said about Ukraine's NATO membership that it is not on the agenda and will never be, because there will never be unanimous support behind it. Ukraine's NATO membership means immediate, direct, all-out war against Russia; Hungary does not want that, he added.
He also mentioned that if Ukraine were to join the EU today, it would destroy Hungary. The EU doesn't have the money to take Ukraine into the union, and " we don't want to destroy our own country "
- He told.
