Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has condemned the latest remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron about the option of sending troops to Ukraine, and has warned such a move could ultimately spark an all-out nuclear war. The diplomat strongly condemned the idea, saying that the French leader's comments themselves have contributed to escalating the situation.
Macron doubled down on previous statements about the prospect of deploying French troops to Ukraine. The president said his original remarks, made earlier this year, were a "strategic wake-up call for my counterparts." He suggested that Paris could deploy troops "if the Russians were to break through the front lines" and a request for help came from Kiev.
Hungary's top diplomat also criticized Macron's idea that France's nuclear weapons could become a part of a credible European defense."In peacetime it would be different, but in wartime such statements can be misinterpreted and have serious consequences. It will be over for everyone."Speaking to Hungarian broadcaster M1 earlier in the day, the minister also rejected NATO's proposed €100 billion ($107 billion) five-year plan for a war chest to prop up Ukraine, floated by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, describing it as "madness.""In the coming weeks during negotiations we will fight for Hungary's right to stay away from this madness, from collecting these 100 billion and siphoning them out of Europe."Hungary has been consistently opposed to the growing involvement of both the US-led NATO and the EU in the Ukrainian conflict, refusing to support Kiev militarily, including through sending weaponry or training Ukrainian troops.
"The UK foreign secretary has spoken out against sending soldiers from NATO countries to Ukraine to fight against the Russian army . He made the comments amid calls from some EU leaders for more direct involvement in the conflict."Has anyone seen serious signs of de-escalations from the British? Have they not crossed their own red lines as to how far they would go again and again and again?
Russian resources: Airborne troops near Chasovoy Yar encountered foreign military personnel operating under the guise of mercenaries
...
According to available information, the day before, in the forestry area on the southern flank of the city, Russian paratroopers clashed with these same foreign mercenaries in battle and defeated them. Previously, seven French or Germans will go home in coffins, and the Western press will soon publish a report about another helicopter crash or an avalanche in the mountains, which will hit almost an entire squad of NATO troops who decided to “go skiing.”
If I were in their shoes, I'd send someone to give MacRon a message: STFU. Now.
