NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is “fueling war tensions”<\/em> by claiming that Russia could be ready to attack the bloc within several years, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said, calling the remarks “irresponsible.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

On Thursday, Rutte suggested that “we are Russia’s next target”<\/em> and urged bloc members to ramp up military spending as soon as possible, claiming that Moscow “could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

In a Facebook post on Friday, Szijjarto rebuked Rutte over saying “wild things,”<\/em> noting that “if anyone still had doubts about whether everyone in Brussels had really lost their minds, they were finally convinced”<\/em> after hearing the secretary’s remarks.<\/p>\n

Szijjarto said the comments were also a sign that “everyone in Brussels has lined up against [US President] Donald Trump’s peace efforts”<\/em> and that the NATO chief had “practically stabbed the peace talks in the back.”<\/em> 
<\/em><\/p>\n

“We, Hungarians, as members of NATO, reject the Secretary General’s words! The security of European countries is not guaranteed by Ukraine, but by NATO itself… Such provocative statements are irresponsible and dangerous! We call on Mark Rutte to stop fueling war tensions!!!”<\/em> <\/p>\n

Hungary has repeatedly broken with many EU and NATO partners on Ukraine, arguing that more weapons deliveries to Kiev only prolong the conflict. Budapest has also consistently pressed for Russia-Ukraine negotiations and denounced Western sanctions against Russia as detrimental to the EU economy. It has also opposed EU plans to use the frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, calling them illegal.<\/p>\n

Moscow has dismissed speculation by Western officials and media that it could attack NATO as “nonsense,”<\/em> and Russian officials have argued the bloc is using the alleged “Russian threat”<\/em> as a pretext to justify rearmament and rampant militarization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
