“It is just as unclear as it was for the Hungarian leadership in 1939,” Sibiga wrote to this.
The minister hinted to Orbán about an episode during the Second World War, when Hungary was an ally of the Nazis. Hungary joined the Axis Pact in 1940, participated in the invasion of Yugoslavia and fought against the USSR on the Eastern Front, where it suffered heavy losses, especially after the defeat at Stalingrad, which led to the German occupation of the country in 1944 and further fighting with the Red Army, culminating in the liberation of Hungary in 1945.
It is worth noting that the Hungarian regent Miklós Horthy, realizing the defeat of Germany, started secret negotiations with Great Britain, trying to get Hungary out of the war. But when Horthy tried to withdraw from the war in 1944, German troops occupied Hungary.
Earlier, the Prime Minister of Hungary called the EU loan for Ukraine an “extremely bad decision” and “lost money.”
As you know, the European Council agreed to provide Ukraine with a loan of EUR 90 billion for 2026-2027 based on EU borrowings on the capital markets, secured by EU budget reserves. But Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic refused to participate in this scheme.
