Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the current policies of European leaders are dangerously moving the continent toward war and that Hungary will continue to uphold its peace-oriented stance.

Orban explained that the road to war progresses through four stages: weakened diplomacy, sanctions and the cutting of trade ties, compulsory military service and a war economy, and finally direct conflict. He stressed that European leaders are now dangerously approaching the third stage — compulsory service and a war economy.

Orban said: “Hungary will stay away from this path and will continue to stand firmly for peace, guided by determination, courage, and perseverance.”
