The Hungarian Prime Minister's proposal for a buffer zone on the territory of Ukraine between russia and NATO makes no sense, as the Kremlin is not interested in "buffers" but in methodical expansion, the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security said, according to UNN .
Details
russia is not interested in any "buffers", its goal is to expand and destroy Ukraine
The analysts also emphasize that the Kremlin is going to "flirt" with Orban only as long as it needs him to weaken European support for Ukraine.
It is noted that without Ukraine, NATO will not have sufficient capacity to deter russian aggression.
Hungary's security depends on Ukraine's survival
Addendum
The analysts emphasized that Ukraine's membership in NATO is the only effective and long-term guarantee of russia's non-aggression. Instead, Ukraine outside the Alliance is an "invitation" for the Kremlin to continue its aggression
In addition, the Center added that despite Orban's rhetoric, Ukraine is grateful to Hungary for supporting Kyiv in the European Council.
Context
Recently, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Ukraine will retain its statehood only if it becomes a buffer zone between russia and the West.
According to him, Ukraine should refuse to join the EU and NATO and become a buffer zone between russia and the West.
Whether we like it or not, whether Ukrainians like it or not, Ukraine is where it is on the map. The best prospect for it would be to create a buffer zone between russia and the West - with security guarantees, of course
