Russia is unlikely to attack any NATO member, — Hungarian Prime Minister.

Viktor Orbán said that Russia is unlikely to attack any NATO member, as its forces have already shown their limits in Ukraine and were not strong enough to win quickly: “If the Russians were strong enough to defeat the Ukrainians in one fell swoop, they would have done it already.”

He emphasized that NATO's military potential far exceeds that of Ukraine, so it is unlikely that Russia or any other country will attack NATO: “I do not think it is logical that Russia, which cannot even defeat Ukraine, will suddenly come and swallow the entire Western world. The chances of this are extremely low.”

At the same time, Hungary wants to be able to opt out if NATO engages in combat outside its member states: “Our lawyers and officers are working hard to ensure that Hungary can maintain its membership in the Alliance in a way that does not require it to participate in NATO actions outside of NATO territory,” he said.
