Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has requested the EU to stop sending money to Ukraine and to support the European economy.

Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary, called on the European Union, during an informal summit, to stop financial support for Ukraine and to redirect funds to support the European economy, which is facing a recession. Orbán proposed a three-step solution, emphasizing that the war negatively affects the economy and that it is essential to achieve peace as soon as possible. He stated that EU money should not be sent to Ukraine, considering the internal needs of the European economy.

Orbán also highlighted the importance of reducing energy costs, viewing them as a major problem for European companies. His statements come in a tense electoral context in Hungary, ahead of the parliamentary elections in April, and reflect his consistent position against Ukraine's accession to the EU, which he sees as a source of instability. Orbán characterized Ukraine as an "enemy of Hungary," in the context of calls to reduce dependence on Russian energy.
