Schultz’s acknowledgment of the deep split of the European Union regarding Ukraine
The German chancellor stated that any negotiations to resolve the war in Ukraine should include the presence of Kiev, and acknowledged the differences with the Hungarian prime minister as well as the deep rift among the EU members over Ukraine.
According to Isna, German Chancellor Olaf Schulz admitted on Friday after the informal meeting of the European Union leaders in Budapest: “I don’t want to hide the fact that there are different positions on Ukraine and you see it publicly.”
According to the report of Rasha Today, the Chancellor of Germany added: “The view expressed by the Prime Minister of Hungary is not consistent with what I or our other friends in Europe have said regarding the priority of the necessary support for Ukraine.”
“Ukraine is a country under attack and ultimately belongs to the European Union and its values of democracy and the rule of law,” Schultz said. There is one principle that almost everyone agrees on. “Nothing happens without the presence of Ukraine.”
Unlike many EU member states, Hungary has rejected sending any lethal weapons to Ukraine and is focused on a peaceful solution to the conflict. This country has also repeatedly criticized the European Union’s sanctions against Russia, and its prime minister has described the said sanctions and restrictions as a “failure” that only worsens the energy crisis.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said, referring to the next American government, which will be headed by Donald Trump: “Ukraine’s situation on the battlefield is clear. This is a military failure and the Americans want to get this country out of this situation. “Europe alone cannot afford the expenses of this war.”
