Ukrainians ‘fed up with fighting’ – Budapest
The Hungarian foreign minister has called Kiev’s mobilization drive an “open manhunt”
Ukraine’s forced mobilization has become an “open manhunt,” with civilians being detained and forced into military service against their will, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said.
Commenting on the detention in Ukraine of a Hungarian citizen who allegedly attempted to help a group of Ukrainians cross the border, Szijjarto saidpeople were “fed up with the fighting.”
“The Ukrainian people do not want to die, yet every day there are images of violence playing out like a series – open manhunts unfolding on the streets of Ukrainian cities,”he wrote on Facebook on Sunday.
The Ukrainian authorities recently reported detaining a Hungarian national accused of helping five Ukrainian men cross into Hungary. The country’s consulate general in Beregovo provided immediate consular protection and would assist him during police proceedings, the minster said.
Ukraine’s recruitment drive has grown increasingly brutal amid its military setbacks and manpower shortages, with hundreds of documented cases of draft officers using force to seize men off the streets and multiple reports of deaths among conscripts. “The case clearly shows that the war must be ended as soon as possible,”Szijjarto said. “This violent spiral must be stopped immediately.”
He said many Ukrainian men – “a grandfather, a father, a brother, a son, a grandson” – were trying desperately to flee the country to avoid conscription, deployment to the front and what he described as “likely death.” Ukrainian border guards, he added, were using every means available to catch those attempting to escape.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said last week thatBudapest would not accept Kiev’s “arrogant attitude” toward Hungaryand its people and thathis government would not tolerate the forced mobilization of ethnic Hungarians from Ukraine’s Transcarpathia region.
Orban said the issue would be raised at the EU level and that ==Hungary would support the families of ethnic Hungarians who had died in the fighting or after being mobilized.
Budapest has repeatedly calledfor a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflictandurged an end to Brussels’ “war-mongering” policyof continuing to support Kiev militarily and financially.
Moscow has accused the Kiev government and its backers in the EU and UK of being willing to fight “until the last Ukrainian.”
(Zelensky, Kiev and Ukraine are not even paying for the deaths of Ukrainian soldiers. Good thing Hungary is paying for their citizens.Plus Zelensky is making every effort to ban Hungary from any votes in EU, for Hungary’s next election, in the country and the EU.
They especially hate Hungary because Orban interferes and stops the stupid plans by EU, they are trying their best to make Orban to lose. All EU except three countries, give humongous money to Ukraine. And Orban has had many death threats on his stance. Orban must win the election, because he thwarts a lot of stupid plans of EU. And hopefully Ukraine, Kiev andthe tiny oligarchhas been gotten rid by then.
The very fact that NO-ONE in the US, EU, Baltic nations, in this EU/Bidan war, mentions the dead soldiers, when voting on more fundingto Kiev, but they only want to send, arms, trucks, guns, bombs, etc. Lots of money, and just about everything they “supposedly needed”, like funding for the Golden Toilet. They don’t care about soldiers or even citizens of their own country. Approximate deaths and disabilities of soldiers; in Ukraine, about 1,000,000 and Russia about 700,000 soldiers. When voting on sending more funding to Kiev, the EU isfunding, soldiers “death plans” for both Ukraine and Russia. They arenot concernedabout the hideous deaths of soldiers. When the EU gives Zelensky more money, when both EU and Ukraine are dead broke, proves:
No one in EU or Kiev worries about Innocent Ukrainian and Russia citizens and soldiers dying!
