Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has vowed to resist what he described as bellicose initiatives backed by Ukraine’s supporters, stating in a social media post on Thursday that “outright pro-war proposals are on the table.” The remarks followed discussions at an informal EU leaders’ summit in Copenhagen, where Orban alleged that Brussels seeks to escalate tensions with Russia.

Orban criticized efforts to channel EU funds to Ukraine, accelerate its accession through legal maneuvers, and finance arms deliveries, calling these measures evidence of a “war agenda” by EU officials. He pledged Budapest’s opposition to such policies, despite growing pressure from other member states to deepen military support for Kyiv.

The Copenhagen meeting occurred amid unexplained drone sightings across Europe, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen asserting that Russia poses the primary threat to European security. Meanwhile, Russian authorities accused Ukraine and its allies of orchestrating false-flag attacks to inflame conflict, including a recent incursion into Polish airspace, which Moscow claimed was staged by Kyiv.

The EU has faced internal divisions over its approach to Ukraine, with some leaders advocating for expanded military aid and others, like Hungary, resisting measures they view as destabilizing. Brussels has also sought to curtail the veto power of dissenting nations on foreign policy matters.
