The Hungarian government has officially designated Russia as a threat to the country, as reflected in directives for its delegation to the UN General Assembly, according to infohub.kz.
According to the document signed by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, Hungary's new government condemns Russia, which has been waging war against Ukraine for the fifth year, and considers it a threat. The document emphasizes: "Hungary condemns Russian military aggression and fully supports Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders." These principles will form the basis of the Hungarian delegation's position at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September.
This explicit condemnation of Moscow's aggressive behavior marks a complete break with the foreign policy of the previous government led by Viktor Orbán. The new Hungarian authorities also recognize Kyiv's right to self-defense. The document states: "Russia's actions pose a threat to Hungary, Europe, and the world order." Furthermore, Budapest expresses support for all efforts aimed at negotiating a "sustainable peace and long-term security guarantees" for Ukraine.
