Ukraine Can't Win War Against Russia: Hungary's Orban

Prime Minister Viktor Orban says Hungary is not part of the "mainstream" European Union approach to Ukraine as he explains the country's opposition to providing aid to Ukraine. He spoke with John Micklethwait at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha on Tuesday.

To be fair, the intervention in Hungary in 1956 was by the USSR including Ukraine and not simply Russia

[@PETE4955]

Very good point.!

[@eremstemero8823]

To be entirely fair: the decision about it was made in Moscow and not in Kiev. USSR was a name given to the Russian Empire by Lenin after the Revolution. Neither Kiev (or Baku, or Tibilisi or Erevan or, or, or were involved in decision making. So to blame Ukrainians for the Soviet invasion is funny.

[@therealignotus7549]

@@eremstemero8823 By bolshevik ideology, there was no Russia or Russian patriotism. In fact Russian(ism) was the most harrased people, logically as a Russian patriotism would pose a bigger threat because of size and having a historical right (Ukraine wasnt really a thing, so the national romanticism and culture did pose a threat) - in fact Soviets endorsed Ukranian "awekaning" in campaigns etc. Blaming the partaking people, the ideology, but not an ethnic group or "nation" because there were none. Communism is globalist in their perspective "workers of the world unite" etc, need to stamp down national movments, any tought against the system. Moscow was the industrial, economic, cultural etc capital of the country with largest population. If Kiev would have been that city, it would have been placed there. Nontheless, Ukranian troops comming in ruthlessly, breaking all human rights, shooting kids and with any method putting down the revolution. Despite the Hungarophobia in Ukranian peoples (unlike among Russians or any other group, because of Bandera earlier and being the most chauvinistic group within the system), it was however not by their own volition but because of strategic reasons (Ukraine was closer among other things). However, neither Russia or the Ukraine are to blame for it. Not only because they only existed as states on paper, but the communist ideology and imperialism is. I just wanted to level out the playing field, because blaming Russia and Russians has taken root, when its entirely false.

The Kingdom of Hungary entered the Second World War and took part in it on the side of Nazi Germany until the very end of the war, eventually falling into the Soviet zone of occupation. The economic situation in the country was further complicated by the fact that Hungary, as an ally of Germany in World War II, was obliged to pay reparations to the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia for several years, sometimes reaching a quarter of the national product. The development of events in Hungary coincided with the Suez crisis - on October 29, Israel, and then NATO members Great Britain and France, attacked Egypt supported by the USSR in order to capture the Suez Canal, next to which they landed their troops.According to the German Minister of Defense F. J. Strauss: At first, the Americans give hope to the Hungarians, but when things get serious, they leave the Hungarian people to their fate. There could be no talk of military intervention by NATO. The suppression of the Hungarian popular uprising by the Red Army was not seen as an action affecting the interests of NATO

This Inre Nagy was supported by Moscow, too. He could speak Russian as he spent long time in the USSR before 1944. .. So, It was not the Hungarian rebels who took over power in Hungary, but the Soviet troops, the Red Army, who carried out a coup on 4 November 1956. Because Khrushchev did not like the new (legitimate) Hungarian government's policy of neutrality. .. The legitimate Hungarian government accepted the democratic rules of the game - and the Soviet Union didn't like it. .. The situation was similar in Czechoslovakia in 1968. There were not even any serious protests there. Only the Soviet leadership did not like the prospect of democratic development. Therefore, the Soviet leaders and the Soviet troops organized a military takeover (coup d'état) there.

@@FILOZOFUS87 In accordance with the report of the head of the Political Directorate of the Voronezh Front, Lieutenant General S. Shatilov, in the Voronezh region, Hungarian soldiers (Shatilov calls them "Magyars") in 1942 became famous for their inhuman cruelty towards the civilian population and captured soldiers of the Red Army. The cruelty, atrocities and crimes of the Magyars were clarified after the liberation of Russian villages and villages by the Red Army. For example, according to the leadership of the Soviet troops, in the Chernyansky district of the Kursk region in 1943, the Hungarians burned 360 captured Russian soldiers and civilians alive. In the same region, on the Kharyevka farm, the German allies mutilated 4 Red Army soldiers with bayonets and buried them alive in the soil. In the Voronezh region (in Ostogozhsk), a woman from the local population became an eyewitness to the blatant cruelty committed against a captured Soviet fighter: the Magyars burned him at the stake, and then stabbed him to death with a bayonet.

Especially tat we have no obligations mixing in this conflict as Ukraine is not a NATO country. It would be different if a member state would have been attacked, then all other would have bound to treat it as an attack on themselves.

Hungary became a puppet state of the Soviet Union, which led to an uprising in 1956 against them.

Despite the sanctions placed on Hungary Orban is going to great lengths to sabotage the war effort in Russia's favour. He knows that a ceasefire without returning occupied territory back to Ukraine will only lead to more invasions of Ukraine by Russsia.
