Asked whether Hungary would send soldiers to Ukraine, Orbán replied: “Of course not.”
She also said Hungary would no longer use its veto power within the European Union as a tool of blackmail and would work to restore the trust of its EU and NATO partners.
Hungary held parliamentary elections on April 12, in which the opposition Tisza party led by Péter Magyar won victory.
On May 9, Hungary’s new parliament held its inaugural session, during which newly elected lawmakers took the oath of office and formally elected Magyar as prime minister.
The Tisza party secured an absolute majority of seats. Magyar was elected prime minister with 140 votes in favor and 54 against. Former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán did not attend the inaugural session of the new parliament.
Anita Orbán, who is set to become Hungary’s foreign minister, is not related to Viktor Orbán.
