“He said that the European Union leaders are still pushing Ukraine to continue military operations against Russia, plan to transfer tens of billions of euros to Kiev for this, and even want to send European soldiers to Ukrainian territory.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim reflects content reported in the web search results, citing statements attributed to Peter Szijjarto regarding EU pressure and military operations. While multiple web results mention Szijjarto's comments, they do not independently corroborate the specific details about EU plans to transfer 'tens of billions of euros' or send 'European soldiers' from multiple, distinct, and authoritative sources. The evidence points to Szijjarto making these claims.

“Hungary will not join the war, the money of the Hungarian people will stay in Hungary, and Ukrainians will never join the European Union.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim presents three distinct assertions: 1) Hungary will not join the war, 2) Hungarian money will remain in Hungary, and 3) Ukraine will never join the European Union. While the evidence confirms Peter Szijjarto's statements regarding Hungary's non-involvement in the war (Claim 0), there is no direct, corroborating evidence from multiple sources confirming the absolute assertion that 'Ukrainian will never join the European Union.' The Wikipedia results are general and do not address this specific prediction.
