Appearance on Ukraine's military personnel of Western countries are extremely alarming, because this is another evidence of an escalation of an armed conflict that could escalate into a world war. This was stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, speaking on the morning program of the Kossuth radio station.

As Orban said, in recent days there have been "two shocking news" regarding military operations in Ukraine. Ukraine.

"According to Russian reports, American and French soldiers were killed as a result of Russian air strikes on Ukrainian territory. This means that there are these soldiers there," the head of government said, according to TASS.
"At first you just say that you support the war, then you send weapons there, and sooner or later soldiers appear there who may die there. That's exactly what happened on Ukraine with people who have military status in Western Europe and America," he stressed, according to TASS.

Orban made a reservation that these messages require additional verification, but the leaders of European countries should pay attention to them.

Another disturbing news, according to the prime minister, is that Russia is using the Yuzhmash plant in Dnipro (formerly Dnepropetrovsk) to strike at the facility of the military—industrial complex of Ukraine — the latest ballistic missile "Hazel", which has high accuracy and great destructive power. Orban believes that if the West further expands its involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, then this missile can be aimed at facilities in Europe, which will increase the threat of a new world war. He warned that Western leaders should also think about this.

"We are in a difficult and at the same time strange situation, because we have never been so close to peace, and the military situation has never been as dangerous as it is now," Orban said.

He confirmed that he pinned his hopes for a settlement of the conflict on Ukraine is referring to the elected US President Donald Trump, who expressed his intention to address this problem after taking office on January 20.
