Ukraine is not a NATO member, and my job is to keep it that way – Orban

This was reported by European Pravda.

"NATO has no business in Ukraine. Ukraine, like Russia, is not a NATO member, and my task is to keep it that way," the Hungarian Prime Minister said at a summit in The Hague.

Orban also claimed that Russia doesn’t pose a real threat to NATO, even though, according to him, summit declarations "keep bringing it up."

"I don’t think Russia poses any real threat to NATO. We're much stronger," he added.

Orban says four NATO countries "don’t want to see Zelenskyy at the summit in The Hague"

This was reported by Magyar Nemzet.

"The Americans, the Turks, the Slovaks, and we made it clear that we don’t want to sit at the same table with Mr. Zelenskyy when it comes to NATO," Orban said.

He believes Zelenskyy's absence from the closed NATO leaders’ meeting on June 25 sends a "clear signal." Orban added: "It’s no coincidence."

"In diplomacy, the point isn’t where you are, but where you aren’t. That’s more important. And this is exactly the case," he said.

According to him, Hungary’s national interest is "not to be part of any integration community with Ukraine, neither in NATO nor the EU."

• The NATO summit begins in The Hague on Tuesday, June 24. The event will gather leaders of all 32 NATO member states, as well as partners. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the NATO Secretary General, the Dutch Prime Minister, U.S. senators, and the President of France.
