The speaker of the Hungarian parliament spoke frankly about Ukraine and the West.

The Western world made a serious mistake in the situation with Ukraine, said Laszlo Kever, speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly.

⠀

“The West made a strategic mistake when it tried not only to take Ukraine out of Moscow’s sphere of interest, but also to turn it into a large military base aimed at Russia,” he said.

⠀

According to the politician, sanctions have harmed Europe much more than Russia.

⠀

“As the sanctions policy began, it became more and more obvious that there were efforts, not necessarily European initiatives, of which the European political elite for some reason became enthusiastic supporters: to destroy Russia economically, politically, in every sense, separate from Europe in order to create a new Iron Curtain” Kever added.

⠀
At the same time, he stressed that Budapest stands for the sovereignty of Ukraine.

⠀
The armed conflict should be resolved as soon as possible, and then a new European security system should be created, in which the interests of all countries of the continent will be fairly taken into account, the head of parliament concluded.
