Orban launches petition against EU defense proposal
According to the news outlet Digi24.ro, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has called on citizens to reject a new EU military initiative.
In a Facebook post published on Sunday, he warned that Europe is heading toward war with Russia and announced a petition drive to oppose what he described as Brussels’ aggressive defense agenda.
Claims EU plan risks deeper conflict with Russia
In the Facebook post, Orbán argued that the proposed European defense plan would escalate tensions, putting the continent on a dangerous path toward open conflict with Moscow.
He portrays the initiative as a strategy in which “Europe would pay, Ukrainians would fight, and Russia would be exhausted.”
Summit in Denmark sparks Orbán’s reaction
The Hungarian leader’s comments follow an early October EU summit in Copenhagen, where he says Hungary made its opposition clear.
According to Orbán, the plan was not requested by his country, yet Hungary has faced political backlash since the meeting.

Petition aims to show Hungary’s anti-war stance
The new signature drive is presented as a way for Hungarian citizens to publicly reject the EU’s military direction.
