Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has expressed concerns regarding Europe’s capacity to sustain financial support for Ukraine in the event of a U.S. withdrawal from the conflict. Key points include:
- Dependence on U.S. Support: Orbán emphasized that Europe’s financial contributions to Ukraine are heavily reliant on U.S. involvement.
- Potential U.S. Policy Shift: He highlighted the possibility of the U.S. reducing or ceasing its support for Ukraine, which could significantly impact Europe’s ability to continue funding the war effort.
- Economic Constraints: Orbán pointed out that European economies are already under strain, making it challenging to increase financial commitments to Ukraine without U.S. backing.
- Call for Strategic Planning: He urged European leaders to develop contingency plans to address potential changes in U.S. foreign policy that could affect support for Ukraine.
