Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó sharply criticised European leaders for what he called a looming escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict after Britain and France signalled willingness to provide troop commitments tied to security guarantees, arguing such moves risk drawing the continent deeper into war. Speaking as part of Hungary’s government bloc, Szijjártó accused Brussels of succumbing to “war fanaticism” and warned that expanding military involvement could lead to direct confrontation with Russia, insisting Hungary’s priority is peace and national security. His remarks underscore Budapest’s opposition to EU policies that he believes could entangle Hungary in broader conflict dynamics.
