Europe is indirectly at war with Russia because of its military support for Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Saturday in a speech addressing his refusal to send arms to Kyiv.

“Europe is getting immersed in war, in reality, they’re already indirectly at war with Russia,” Orban said in his annual state of the nation speech, predicting fighting in Ukraine may continue for years.

Orban, who is the European Union leader with the closest ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, reiterated that Hungary won’t supply weapons to its eastern neighbour and that Budapest doesn’t view Moscow as a security threat.
