BERLIN. April 14 (Interfax) - Ukraine costs too much to the European Union countries, and its support cannot continue endlessly, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
"The financial obligations with respect to Ukraine damage the Union's economy, and obviously, this cannot continue for an indefinite period of time," he said.
"The question is whether we will continue to support Ukraine. When the Americans and Europeans answer 'no' to this question, the conflict will end," Orban said on Hungarian radio.
Orban said previously that he viewed the countries providing financing and supplying weapons to Ukraine as direct participants in the conflict.
The Hungarian prime minister has also regularly criticized the EU's sanctions policy with respect to Russia. In January, Orban said that Europe's approach toward anti-Russia sanctions was wrong and that, without these sanctions, inflation would have decreased by half.
