MADRID, 14 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, has indicated this Friday that Ukraine's immediate accession to NATO could lead to the outbreak of a new world war and has been critical of the delivery of cluster bombs by the United States to Kiev. to deal with the invasion of Russia.

"If Ukraine had been admitted to NATO (at the recent Vilnius summit), we would have been plunged into World War III," he said in an interview with the Hungarian station Kossuth, before adding that "that would have meant that NATO is at war with Russia."

Thus, he has indicated that "it is necessary to understand Ukraine, which is at war", although he has stressed that "the majority do not want to assume the risk of a world war. "If we accept the position of the Ukrainians, we will be dragged to a war," he reiterated.

Orbán stressed that "Ukrainians have an unusual style of communication and interaction." "They are aggressive, demanding and impose moral pressure on others," he asserted, as reported by the Hungarian newspaper 'Magyar Hírlap'.

In this line, he has said that the decision of the United States to deliver cluster bombs to kyiv "does not bring peace one meter closer." "The situation will get worse, what is dangerous is difficult," said Orbán, who recalled that "hundreds and thousands of people die there every day."

"That is why we want a ceasefire and peace negotiations. The escalation of the conflict could reach Transcarpathia - a Ukrainian province located in the southwest of the country, on the border with Slovakia, Hungary and Romania - and also Hungary," has warned.

On the other hand, he has criticized that "Westerners want a war, they want the continuation of the war." "The number of people in favor of the war is still overwhelming. Few of us speak the voice of peace, so we have to prepare ourselves so that the war and the sanctions do not disappear from our lives," she pointed out.

"If the Americans wanted to, there would be peace tomorrow morning. I don't know why they don't do anything and we didn't get an answer at this NATO summit," said Orbán, who recalled that "Ukraine does not have a military industry or the equipment necessary to continue the war" without international support.
