Siyarto: EU wants to send military advisors to Ukraine
Oct 2, 2024
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said that the European Union allegedly plans to send military advisers to help Ukraine in the war against Russia, but Budapest rejected the proposal.
Source: He said this after a retreat of the Hungarian government on October 2.
Szijjártó claims that the EU, in a new proposal to extend the mandate of the mission to train the Ukrainian military, EUMAM, proposes to send “EU military advisers to Ukraine to perform coordination tasks.”
“This will mean that the exercises will no longer take place only on the territory of the European Union, but the EU military advisers participating in the exercises will be stationed in Ukraine,” the Hungarian Foreign Minister states.
He believes that this “dangerous proposal” would significantly “increase the risk of escalation of the war, that is, its further spread.”
“That is why we say no to this proposal, and we have already indicated to the European Union External Action Service in Brussels that we are not in a position to support it in this form. We have asked them to revise this proposal,” Sijjarto added.-
