Hungary agreed not to veto NATO militaru support for Ukraine in exchange for not participating in these efforts.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Hungary will neither block nor participate in the military alliance's deepening support for Ukraine.
"At the summit, I expect allies will agree a leading role for NATO in coordinating and providing security assistance and training for Ukraine. I also expect allies will agree long-term financial pledge to provide military support," Stoltenberg said Wednesday at a press briefing in Budapest, where he carried out a surprise visit.
Orban endorsed the agreement during the same briefing. He said that Hungary was given a guarantee that, when it comes to out-of-area operations, it does not have to participate, according to an AP translation of his comments. In exchange for these concessions, Hungary has agreed not to veto NATO's deepening military aid in support of Ukraine.
