The Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, who has been criticised for his pro-Russian attitude, said he was concerned about the possibility of World War III breaking out. “The possibility that the war in Ukraine will turn into a global conflict is increasing,” the Hungarian Prime Minister argued.

According to Politico, citing public radio station Kossuth Rádió, Orbán criticised Western capitals and accused Ukraine’s allies of promoting a conflict due to economic interests.

“The world has never been so close,” Orban said, in the scenario of “local war” turning into “global war.” “The possibility of this is increasing every day,” he claimed.

In his radio interview, the Hungarian prime minister insisted that others share his position, pointing to China, the Arab world, and Africa.

“There is the West”, he said, “(there are) the others too” he added.
