NATO leaders agreed to deploy a rapid reaction force in the region.

Hungary will strengthen the NATO air base in Pápa and will send soldiers to take part in a military exercise in the Baltic states, Orbán confirmed.

He noted that all NATO members had agreed to boost their military spending.

“We can guarantee Hungary’s security only and exclusively within NATO,” he added.

Orbán suggested talks with Russia instead of sanctions.
