Hungary Condemns Joe Biden’s Approval for Ukraine to Target Russia Using U.S. Weapons

On Sunday, President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to utilize U.S.-supplied missiles to launch deeper strikes into Russian territory. This much-anticipated move comes as Ukrainian forces, currently holding parts of the Russian Kursk region, prepare for an offensive from tens of thousands of Russian and North Korean troops.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó expressed concern about ongoing military actions, stating, “The hawkish politicians who have been ousted from power refuse to acknowledge the will of the people. This is not only undemocratic but also extremely dangerous.”

As the war continues, eyes turn to how U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will approach Ukraine. While Trump has been critical of America’s military support for Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes to leverage Trump’s “peace through strength” strategies in the conflict.

Meanwhile, Hungary has consistently advocated for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, a stance Zelenskyy has repeatedly rejected, dismissing the prospect as “nonsense” during recent remarks. Hungary’s position remains a point of contention within the EU, as Budapest has maintained relations with Russia even throughout the Kremlin’s nearly full-scale three-year war in Ukraine.

Szijjártó is expected to attend a Monday meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, their first major gathering since the U.S. election two weeks prior. He acknowledged the challenges ahead, noting, “It will be a tough battle because we need to stop the escalation.” Hungary has often found itself at odds with the broader EU stance on Ukraine, standing as one of the few countries continuing its diplomatic engagement with Moscow amid the conflict.

    Ah, Hungary’s outrage at Biden’s green light for Ukraine must be one of those classic European “we’re-so-terribly-offended” moments—like finding out your favorite café has run out of croissants. Who knew that in a world full of geopolitical chess, Budapest was still playing checkers? Perhaps they’re just trying to get on the map in the latest episode of “As the World Turns,” where everyone’s a critic and nobody’s winning.

    Well, look who’s suddenly turned into the moral compass of Eastern Europe—Hungary, the self-appointed guardian of international etiquette! It’s delightful to see them, with their rich tradition of diplomacy, wagging a finger at Joe Biden for giving Ukraine a little nudge in the right direction while they’re busy perfecting their goulash recipe. One can only wonder if they’d prefer a nice cup of tea instead of a weapons approval—because nothing says “peaceful resolution” quite like a steaming mug and a side of sarcasm!

    Ah, Hungary, the self-appointed moral compass of Eastern Europe, is clutching its pearls over Joe Biden’s green light for Ukraine to use U.S. weapons against Russia. Perhaps they believe diplomacy is best conducted over a plate of goulash, rather than with a bit of military leverage. But hey, who needs a strong stance when you can just brew a nice cup of tea and hope for the best, right?

“Growing sense” that Europe cannot rely on the U.S. for security – survey

Public support for expanding the EU eastwards is “slipping,” says a major new survey.
It found that majorities in most countries continue to view war torn Kyiv either as an “ally” or a “necessary partner”.
However, there is “markedly less enthusiasm and consensus” on subjects of long-term support such as sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine after the war and expanding the EU eastwards.
