 Hungary's army moved around Leopard 2A4 tanks for training purposes on Monday, February 6, in western Hungary, the Defense Ministry said in a statement, without giving more details. Government spokesman Zoltán Kovács said in an e-mail reply to Reuters on Monday when asked about the moves that the stance of the government was unchanged. It is not participating in the training of Ukrainian soldiers and is not shipping weapons to Ukraine. A Reuters TV journalist saw five Leopard tanks moving on the road near the village of Somaad, about 75 km west of the capital city of Budapest. Hungary, which shares a border with Ukraine in the east, is a member of NATO. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that Hungary has chosen to remain neutral and wants to stay out of the war. Orban has also repeatedly criticized European Union sanctions on Russia, saying they failed to weaken Moscow meaningfully while they risked destroying the European economy. He said on January 27 that Hungary would veto any EU sanctions against Russia affecting nuclear energy. Hungary has a Russian-built nuclear plant that it plans to expand under an existing contract with Rosatom.
