It is not Hungary’s job to finance Ukraine 

According to an analysis published in The Economist, Ukraine would need USD 400 billion in the next four years to continue the war. Weapons, reconstruction, pensions, salaries. Europe is expected to foot the bill. There is no one else left willing to pick up the tab, Mr Orbán wrote on his Facebook account on Monday. 

Mr Orbán added: “That’s why Brussels is so agitated. That’s why they want to seize frozen Russian assets, overhaul the EU funding system, and take on new loans. We reject this. It’s not Hungary’s job to finance Ukraine. We have no reason to do so: not politically, not economically, not morally.”

He observed that we were not alone in Europe, but we spoke the most openly. That is why Brussels keeps attacking us. “They want a ‘jawohl government,’ with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, EU-compliant economic policies, Brussels-approved experts, and a prime minister they can control,” the Prime Minister wrote. 

“In the next four years, we will support Hungarian families, Hungarian businesses, and Hungarian pensioners. That is why we are introducing tax exemption for mothers with two or three children, extending our 3% loan scheme to businesses, and introducing the 14^th monthly pension,” he listed.

“We cannot allow Hungarians’ money to be sent to Ukraine!” Mr Orbán wrote.
