Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that Ukraine has lost its sovereignty, and the European Union (EU) is already discussing the possibility of dividing it according to the old colonial logic. He announced this on October 23 at a rally held outside the National Parliament building after the anti-war Peace March in Budapest.

Speaking about the intentions of EU leaders to continue the conflict in Ukraine, Orban expressed the opinion that "Ukraine has not been sovereign, independent, and certainly not independent for a long time."

"Her fate is in the wrong hands," the politician stressed.

According to the Prime Minister, EU leaders are talking about supporting Ukraine and trying to "squeeze it into the European Union," but "the issue of dividing Ukraine is already on the agenda." Orban called this the "old colonial logic," according to which weakened countries should be "broken up" and then not remain aloof from their division.

On the same day, an anti-war rally of thousands in support of Orban began in the center of Budapest. During the protest, slogans "Forward, Hungarians!" are heard. In the crowd of people, you can see vans with Orban's image and the inscription "Hungary needs you," souvenir stalls with portraits and posters of the country's prime minister, as well as Trump with the slogan "Make Europe great again."

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that the EU elites are trying to avoid any initiatives that could lead to peace in Ukraine. He also stressed that Budapest is always ready to mediate in negotiations and maintains open channels of communication with Moscow.
