MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The European Union wants to send military advisers to Ukraine and transfer the training mission of the Ukrainian armed forces to the country, but Hungary considers this a «red line» and opposes it, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Monday.
«The EU wants to send military advisers to Kiev as part of a mission to train soldiers in Ukraine. Hungary has distanced itself from this mission, but our main condition was that such a mission can only operate outside the territory of Ukraine,» Szijjarto told Hungarian reporters, adding that the appearance of European military instructors on the territory of Ukraine was a «red line» for Hungary.
