The EU leadership is pushing the bloc towards war with Russia, while neglecting the interests of their own people, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has claimed.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In an op-ed published in the Magyar Nemzet newspaper on Saturday, Orban warned that the EU is facing a series of crises, including economic challenges and the heightened threat of terrorism.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make matters worse, the Brussels bureaucracy that lives in a bubble has made a number of bad political decisions in recent years,\u201d<\/em> the prime minister argued. \u201cEurope is increasingly being dragged into a war, in which it has nothing to gain and everything to lose.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bureaucrats in Brussels want this war. They see it as their own, and they want to defeat Russia. They keep sending the money of the European people to Ukraine. They have shot European companies in their feet with sanctions. They have driven up inflation\u00a0and they have made making a living difficult for millions of European citizens.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Brussels bureaucrats want this war, they see it as their own, and they want to defeat Russia. They keep sending the money of the European people to Ukraine, they have shot European companies in the foot with sanctions, they have driven up inflation and they have made making a living difficult for millions of European citizens.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Orban also accused the EU leadership of \u201cimposing their own ideologies\u201d<\/em> on the populations of member states, instead of \u201clooking after the interests of the people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Hungarian prime minister made his comments shortly after EU leaders nominated Ursula von der Leyen to serve for a third term as the president of the European Commission. At the same time, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas was nominated to replace Josep Borrell as the bloc\u2019s top diplomat. Known for her hawkish foreign policy, Kallas has been one of the key champions of tougher sanctions on Russia and more weapons shipments to Ukraine. She is also an advocate of using frozen Russian assets for aid to Kiev.<\/p>\n

Orban\u00a0is an outspoken\u00a0critic of the EU\u2019s approach to the Ukraine conflict, favoring a diplomatic settlement through negotiations. Unlike many other NATO members, Hungary has refused to send weapons to Kiev and lobbied against unconditional financial assistance.<\/p>\n

Orban previously claimed the US and the EU were \u201cthe sources\u201d<\/em> of the \u201cwar madness\u201d<\/em> sweeping the continent, and accused Brussels of dangerous brinkmanship with Russia.<\/p>\n
