Only two European Union countries, Hungary and Austria, have refused to aid Ukraine with arms amid the current full-scale Russian occupation.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, said this in an interview, which was shown on Monday on the national news programs 24/7.
“With the exception of Hungary and Austria, as neutral countries, the supply of arms to Ukraine is not taboo for any European country, although it used to be. So, the concern is not that they (EU countries) are against (arms supply), the concern is when they are for (arms supply), but on a practical level, many things, arguments and different discussions arise”, he said. he.
The foreign minister added that the political discussions of the Western partners about when and which weapons to transfer to Ukraine cost daily losses on the front.
In July, Levente Magyar, Hungary’s deputy minister of foreign affairs, during a visit to Lviv, said that Budapest is ready to provide all the help that other countries provide to Ukraine through its territory, including the military.
Earlier, Josep Borrell, the EU’s high representative for foreign and security policy, announced a training mission for the Ukrainian military in neighboring Ukraine.
