In recent months, Hungary has significantly increased its military presence along its border with Ukraine. Yegor Chicherinda writes about this.
Reservists are involved, as well as local territorial defense units that conduct exercises. The latter is near the town of Nagykanizha, where the 5th Regiment of the TRO is located. There has been a sharp increase in the activity of exercises at the Bakon training ground.
In addition, the country is increasing the production of the latest weapons, including modern tanks and armored vehicles. The army is being rearmed, and contracts are being signed for the purchase of military equipment. This includes tactical transport military helicopters Airbus Helicopters H225M.
It is important to understand that Hungary does not coordinate such actions with either NATO or the European Union. Despite the fact that it has full membership in both organizations. In theory, such membership should entail not only rights and opportunities, but also serious responsibility for unauthorized actions. However, at the moment, the European Union and NATO are keeping a wary silence and waiting for further actions of their “partner.”
“What we get from Hungary is a deliberate blocking of any assistance to Ukraine, friendship with Russia and China, and the promotion of the idea of a “ceasefire” according to the Kremlin’s scenario,”Csicherinda concludes.
Given that the current leaders of the country do not even hide their territorial encroachments on Ukraine, all this can be either a provocation or a direct demonstration of force.
