Hungary to stay out of NATO's 'crazy mission' to aid Ukraine - FM

Hungary will not participate in NATO's long-term plan to aid Ukraine, its foreign minister said, calling the plan a "crazy mission," Report informs referring to Reuters.

NATO allies agreed in April to initiate planning on long-term military support for Ukraine against Russia's invasion, through setting up a fund worth 100 billion euros ($107 billion).

Under the plans, NATO would take over some coordination work from a US-led coalition known as the Ramstein group.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto reiterated the government's earlier opposition to the plan.

"Hungary will stay out of NATO's crazy mission despite all the pressure," he told a Facebook-live event in London.

Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs, responding to NATO's initiative last month, said on X that Hungary would back no NATO proposals that "might draw the alliance closer to war or shift it from a defensive to an offensive coalition".
