Viktor Orbán tells supporters that the “precondition” for Miskolc’s and Hungary’s development is to keep young Hungarians from being “taken to Ukraine as soldiers” and to prevent Hungarian money from being “taken to Ukraine,” insisting Budapest will send “neither soldiers nor money” even as other EU leaders discuss troop deployments and new aid. He accuses major European states of turning Brussels meetings into “war councils” about how to defeat Russia and force reparations, warns that Europe has already committed around €280 billion and is borrowing even more that Ukraine can never repay, and predicts this debt‑fuelled strategy will “ruin Europe” because “no one should bet” on a nuclear power paying reparations, which he dismisses as a fairy tale.
