MINSK (Sputnik) - Budapest does not want to take part in the conflict in Ukraine and will not allow even one Hungarian soldier to be taken to the front, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Wednesday.
"We, Hungarians, are paying a very high price for the war in Ukraine, although it is not our war. Hungary's goal is clear — we do not want to take part in the war that is going on in our neighborhood," Szijjarto told reporters after talks with Belarusian counterpart in Minsk, adding that Hungary "will not allow even one Hungarian to be taken to the front."
