Hungary: Ukraine's Membership in NATO Will Weaken the Alliance's Unity

After NATO announced that it would invite Ukraine to join as soon as all member states agree and all conditions are met, Hungary's Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, indicated that "Ukraine's accession to NATO will weaken the unity of the alliance." He stated, "We will not support NATO becoming an anti-China bloc." A draft joint statement from the NATO summit in Washington, released yesterday, noted that China has become one of Russia's main supporters in its war against Ukraine and continues to pose a challenge to Europe.
