Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the European Commission has pledged to take "decisive steps" to aid Ukraine's EU accession.

"Once again, threatening news came from Brussels today; Ursula von der Leyen has followed Manfred Weber in swearing allegiance to Ukraine," PM Orbán said in a video posted on Facebook on Wednesday.

Von der Leyen had also announced that "they want to send more money to Ukraine than ever before, and that she wants to drag Europe even deeper into the Ukrainian war," he said.

"This is not in Europe's interest," but rather it should follow the US in moving away from the war, PM Orbán said.

It is in Europe's interest "to stop pouring Europeans' money into the bottomless sack of an unwinnable war" and to allow countries to enter the bloc only if they strengthen the community, and not ones that would push us into bankruptcy," he said.

"Hungary's stance is clear and we stand by it; we do not want Hungarians to be forced to pay the price of Ukraine's EU accession."

"It is time that the EC represented member states, rather than Ukraine," he said.
