If Russia follows this path, the children of many Russian mothers will not return home

In response to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Hungary was also mentioned:
The gentleman made an important remark. We are currently discussing what we can do to strengthen the eastern/southeastern flank of NATO. The French are watching Romania. There are questions about Hungary and what we can do there; As you know, the Hungarian minority in Ukraine is part of a complex problem. Everyone – especially Americans; He heard what you said about 8,500 soldiers going to Europe – he sees the need to move NATO forces now, to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank.
Regarding Boris Johnson’s parliamentary speech, we have sent the following questions to the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Ministry of Defense:
- Are there any negotiations underway regarding the stationing of British or other NATO forces in Hungary?
-
If the above negotiations are taking place, with which countries specifically? Approximately how many of these soldiers can come to Hungary?
-
Are negotiations underway to establish permanent stations for foreign soldiers, or to install foreign weapons systems, such as the Patriot missile defense systems, in Hungary?
-
Approximately how many foreign soldiers are currently serving in Hungary in NATO?
-
Approximately how many British soldiers are currently serving in Hungary?
We have received the following decision from the Hungarian Ministry of Defense in response:
Hungary is a loyal member of NATO, but it is in Hungary’s interest for a peaceful negotiated settlement of the issue of Ukraine-Russia conflicts. It is good for Hungary to have peace on the eastern border and not armed conflict. Therefore, we will always help to resolve disputes through negotiations.

According to the Secretary of State, the request has already been received from the United States, but the information about the 1,000-strong NATO forces was described as incorrect.

The British Ministry of Defense sent the following response to questions regarding Hungary:
The Prime Minister said in the House of Commons on his first question (Are there any negotiations on the deployment of British or other NATO forces in Hungary?). Precision I must refer you again. In particular, “the British army leads a NATO combat group in Estonia, and if Russia attacks Ukraine, we want to contribute to any new NATO deployment to protect our European allies.” I’m afraid there are no more details I can share. As for your second question, there is currently no British soldier stationed in Hungary.
