PRISTINA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Hungary will not send troops or weapons to Ukraine and will not allow lethal weapons to transit its territory in order to keep the country safe, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday during a visit to Kosovo.

"The reason for making this decision is that such deliveries might become targets of hostile military action and ... we have to ensure the security of Hungary ... that we are not getting involved in that war," Szijjarto said after meeting Kosovo Foreign Minister Donika Gervalla.

14. If he thinks this will stop Putin from rolling the tanks into Hungary next,

he's as stupid as all the Putin phanboys in the US.

6. The worrying thing about this is that Hungary is part of NATO, Turkey is also,

which has increased it's connection to Russia in the near past. Hungary and Turkey are currently ruled by Autocrats and this whole alliance against the Russia Autocracy places the conflict between democracies and dictatorships in full view.

9. Hungarians should be chanting "1956' in the streets!

8. It's not like this really presents a barrier to getting weapons to the Ukrainians.

It be nice to have some cooperation from all of our NATO allies in this, but I don't see any real harm done here.

[LudwigPastorius]

10. It makes the other NATO member states question Hungary's commitment...

to the treaty.

If Hungary doesn't believe that the organization offers deterrence to a Russian attack, or real defense in the actual event of one, then maybe they shouldn't be a member.

[Gore1FL]

11. Maybe not. That test comes with article 5. nt

12. Isn't Hungary in the hands of a

far right leader?

[lagomorph777]

15. Yup.

13. Hungary's already on Putin's list
