Hungary provides assistance to Ukrainian refugees with the largest humanitarian action in its history, yet does not support any action that further escalates the conflict or that gives the Hungarian people’s money to others – stated the Secretary of State for the Aid of Persecuted Christians of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after attending the informal meeting of the EU Council of Foreign Affairs in Brussels.

Tristan Azbej represented the Hungarian government in this sensitive matter, pointing out that topics of simultaneous importance for Hungarian national interests and, generally, for peace and stability were discussed. Regarding solidarity with Ukraine, Hungary often faces unfair accusations while in reality, over the past two years, it has opened its borders to more than one million Ukrainian refugees, providing them with medical care, food, accommodation, and educational opportunities. However, Hungary does not support any action that aids Ukraine in an uncontrolled and non-transparent manner – he explained.
