In his statement, Szijjarto also referred to the information on the security service of Ukraine (SBU) published on Friday morning.. According to the minister, the reason for disclosing this information is that “we, Hungarians, we want peace, we say” no “, we have never provided weapons of Ukraine and we will not do it; we did not let and let us be drawn into this war.”
The minister also argued that it was about Ukrainian retaliation when a referendum is underway in Hungary regarding Ukraine's accession to the European Union. “We will not tolerate this type of slandering actions taken in Ukraine against Hungary and the Hungarian nation,” he added.
On Friday morning, SBU informed about the breakdown of the espionage network created by the Hungarian military intelligence. Her actions focused on the cornering circuit bordering with Hungary in the southwest of the country.
On the same day before noon at the Szijjarto press conference, asked to comment on this matter, he stated: “Unfortunately, the last three years have proved that the war in Ukraine is partly a propaganda war. Therefore, in addition to the physical war in the aircraft and the front war, propaganda war is fighting on the front.” The head of Hungarian diplomacy also added that “in Ukraine, anti -heavy propaganda is often grown, which in many cases turned out to have no grounds.”
