Bloomberg: Orban Says Ukraine Can’t Win War as He Justifies Veto on Aid
(Bloomberg) -- Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban dug in his heels over crucial European Union aid to Ukraine, offering sympathy for his neighbor but nothing more to help it fight off Russia’s invasion.
Speaking in a Bloomberg interview at the Qatar Economic Forum, Orban argued that Ukraine’s military effort is doomed and sending further aid will only lead to more deaths.
“Emotionally it’s tragic, all of our hearts are with the Ukrainians,” Orban, 59, told Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait on Tuesday. “But I’m talking as a politician who should save lives.”
“There’s no chance to win this war,” he added.

We represent the lollypop guild the lolly pop guild . Mr orban of the small country please sit down before anyone remembers...
Imagine being Ukrainian and hearing how some political snob who is cosy with the Russians remark how your struggles to keep hold of your sovereign identity is all for naught.
You'd laugh. The Ukrainians have no choice.
Hungary still has the luxury of choices.
kick em out of nato. When ww3 starts and hungry wants to play with the bad guys, so be it.
Orban is just telling the hard truth. The ukies can go down fighting. That is thier choice.
