Hurgary's Orban says he will not block NATO's decision on Ukraine
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, he agreed not to block the Alliance's decision on Ukraine
He said this at a press conference with the NATO Secretary General in Budapest on Wednesday, according to European Pravda.
Orban emphasized that at the meeting he and Stoltenberg reviewed relations between Hungary and NATO.
According to the Hungarian prime minister, "everyone knows that Hungary's position on the Russian-Ukrainian war differs from that of most NATO countries." But he thanked the NATO secretary general that Budapest has always been "allowed" to express its different opinion.
"Hungary has made it very clear that it does not intend to block any decisions in NATO that may differ from what we believe is our analysis of the situation. What we focused on in today's meeting... is that any operations outside (NATO) must be voluntary, and Hungary has been given the guarantees it demands," Orban said.

Earlier, Orban said that the country was working on "redefining" its NATO membership status to potentially refuse to deepen support for Ukraine.
