[Hungarian Prime Minister: EU's Use of Frozen Russian Assets is Tantamount to Open Declaration of War] On December 15th local time, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that the EU's decisions in the coming days regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict are crucial. "We have never been closer to ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict," he said, adding that Europe is facing a tremendous opportunity and therefore must support peace negotiations. Orbán stated that the EU's attempt to continue or even escalate the conflict by using frozen Russian assets is tantamount to an open declaration of war and will inevitably provoke Russian retaliation. Hungary will not change its position, will not support the confiscation of frozen Russian assets, will not provide funds or weapons to Ukraine, and will not participate in EU loans serving wartime purposes.
