Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has vowed to oppose what he called “bellicose proposals” from Ukraine’s backers, accusing EU leaders of seeking to drag the bloc into conflict with Russia. Speaking on Thursday, Orban claimed that discussions at an informal EU summit in Copenhagen this week revealed plans to funnel EU funds to Ukraine, fast-track its membership through legal maneuvers, and finance arms deliveries. “These measures clearly show the Brusselians’ desire for war,” he wrote on X, vowing Budapest’s resistance.

The Copenhagen meeting followed reports of unidentified drones spotted across Europe, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen alleging that “Russia is the primary threat to Europe’s security.” Meanwhile, EU leaders debated a contested “drone wall” initiative to counter aerial threats, though media outlets noted little progress, describing the plan as more symbolic than practical.

Moscow has accused Ukraine and its European allies of orchestrating provocations to inflame tensions, with Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) alleging that recent drone incursions into Polish airspace were a Ukrainian false-flag operation. The EU, however, continues pushing for greater support for Kyiv and increased militarization of member states, including efforts to curtail the veto power of nations like Hungary on foreign policy decisions.
