Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has reiterated his firm opposition to Ukraine's accession to both NATO and the European Union. At the NATO summit in The Hague, Orbán emphasized that Ukraine is not a NATO member, nor is Russia, and stated that his duty is to maintain this status quo. He argued that NATO is far superior to Russia and that Ukraine's membership would pose a direct threat, potentially triggering immediate military conflict. Orbán warned that admitting Ukraine to NATO could lead to World War III, describing the EU's push to integrate Ukraine as reckless and equating it to dragging the continent into war.

Additionally, Hungary conducted a national referendum, known as Voks2025, in which the government reported that 95% of the approximately 2.28 million participants opposed Ukraine's EU membership. Orbán cited this result to justify Hungary's veto of Ukraine's EU accession talks, warning that integrating a country at war into the EU would destabilize the bloc and effectively bring war to Europe’s core. The referendum's legitimacy and turnout have been questioned by critics, with Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemning it as manipulative anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Orbán also expressed uncertainty about Ukraine's current borders and identity, suggesting that the country's NATO membership would mean immediate war. Overall, Hungary under Orbán continues to block Ukraine's path toward NATO and EU membership, framing such moves as threats to regional and European stability.
