The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, clarified on Monday which two countries of the European Union refused to help Kyiv with weapons and military equipment, Ukrainian Pravda reports.

On Monday in a TV show, he said that supplying arms to Ukraine is no longer a taboo for European countries, “with the exception of Hungary and Austria, as a neutral country (not to mention that Austria is not a member of NATO). ) “.

At the same time, the head of Ukrainian diplomacy noted that practically “there are many different things, disputes and discussions”.

Dmytro Kuleba said that the political discussions of Western partners about when and what weapons to supply Ukraine cost his country daily losses at the front.

Last month, Ukrainian media reported that Hungarian Deputy Foreign Minister Levente Magyar said during a visit to Lviv in western Ukraine that Budapest had changed its position on the transit of arms destined for Kyiv.

However, the Hungarian government later denied this information.

The EU wants to train the Ukrainian military

On February 28, the Minister of Foreign Affairs from Budapest, Peter Szijjártó, said that his country would not allow the use of the territory of Hungary for the delivery of weapons to Ukraine.

At the beginning of March, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that the government headed by him would allow the deployment of NATO troops in western Hungary, but not the transportation of weapons to Ukraine.

Dmytro Kuleba’s comments on Monday came after EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said earlier in the day that the European Union wanted to train Ukrainian soldiers, following Britain’s example.

The proposal will be discussed next week in Prague within the framework of the EU Council of Defense Ministers, Borrell said at a press conference in Santander (northern Spain).
