Hungary's President Tamas Sulyok will not attend the Bucharest Nine summit in Riga, Latvia. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed that Hungary will not participate in NATO's support for Ukraine but will not obstruct other member states from doing so. This decision follows discussions where Hungary was assured that participation in NATO missions outside the alliance's territory would be voluntary. Stoltenberg emphasized that Hungary remains a loyal NATO member, despite its abstention from the Ukraine mission. The Financial Times reported that Hungary might be excluded from future Bucharest Nine meetings due to its stance on Ukraine and blocking decisions. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban reiterated that Hungary would not block NATO's aid to Ukraine but would not contribute personnel or funds. Stoltenberg also mentioned that NATO plans to invest €40 billion annually in military support for Ukraine.
