The National Assembly of Hungary adopted a resolution rejecting Ukraine’s EU membership, further funding for Kyiv’s military support, and efforts to transform the EU into a military alliance.
This was reported by the Hungarian government spokesperson, Zoltán Kovács, on X.
The resolution states that Budapest opposes Ukraine’s EU accession because the country is at war, and its membership could risk making the EU a direct party to the conflict. The document calls on the Hungarian government not to support the start of substantive accession negotiations with Ukraine and to oppose its EU membership.
Hungarian lawmakers also warned of the financial consequences of continuing support for Ukraine, noting that the EU has already provided €193.3 billion in aid to Kyiv since the start of the war and plans additional loans. According to the resolution, Ukraine’s potential share of funding in the next seven-year EU budget could exceed €360 billion, which could come at the expense of funds allocated for the agriculture of EU member states.
In addition, the resolution calls on the government to support international peace efforts, avoid sending money or weapons to Ukraine, and prevent Hungary and the EU from being drawn into the war.
It also urges resistance to initiatives that would turn the EU into a military alliance and to any attempts by EU institutions to bypass the rule of unanimity in decision-making.
