00:00Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó has issued a stark warning to NATO, accusing
00:22the alliance of backing itself into a corner by fomenting anti-Russia war hysteria.
00:29Speaking to journalists on Thursday, Szijjártó described the prevailing psychosis among Western
00:34leaders, which he claims is driving them to adopt increasingly crazy ideas that could
00:39have severe repercussions.
00:41Szijjártó's comments came ahead of an informal meeting of NATO foreign ministers scheduled
00:46for Friday.
00:48He expressed concern that the event would likely exacerbate tensions and lead to further
00:52escalation, potentially creating an extremely dangerous situation.
00:57European colleagues have plunged into an ever-deeper pit of war psychosis, and I believe
01:02that the presence of the Americans and British will only stimulate this hysterical state,"
01:07Szijjártó said in Brazil.
01:09He predicted that the upcoming meeting would be characterized by an unprecedented pro-war
01:13atmosphere, fostering support for more radical proposals.
01:18One such proposal, according to Szijjártó, involves allowing Kiev to use Western weapons
01:22to conduct strikes deep inside Russia.
01:25He warned that the Russian military, well-equipped with its own arsenal, would undoubtedly retaliate.
01:29What will the result be?
01:32More deaths.
01:33Armed shipments increase the number of weapons on both sides of the front line and cause
01:37more deaths, he cautioned.
01:39The issue of long-range strikes has been a contentious topic in recent weeks.
01:43In early May, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron stated that Kiev has the right to use British
01:48weapons to target sites within Russia.
01:50Following this, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called on Western donors to permit
01:55Ukraine to carry out such attacks, a stance supported by Latvian President Edgars Rinkeviks
02:01and other NATO members, including Poland, France, and Germany.
02:05According to reports by the New York Times, US President Joe Biden may soon lift the restrictions
02:09on Ukraine's use of US-supplied weapons for strikes on Russian territory.
02:13Moscow has consistently warned that any attacks on Russian soil using Western weaponry would
02:17represent a significant escalation promising serious consequences.
02:21Russian President Vladimir Putin also weighed in, cautioning NATO members, particularly
02:25those in smaller European countries, about the risks they are quoting.
02:28These representatives of NATO countries, especially in Europe, especially in small countries,
02:32must be aware of what they are playing with, Putin remarked, highlighting the vulnerability
02:36of nations with limited territory and dense populations.
02:40As NATO prepares for its meeting, the rhetoric and discussions emerging from Brazil's will
02:44be closely watched, with significant implications for the ongoing conflict and global stability.
