A new poll in Hungary shows that 46 percent of Hungarians believe that the European Union should not support Ukraine at any level, which was attacked by the Russians more than two years ago.

According to the poll conducted by Závecz Research on behalf of 24.hu, 32 percent of those polled are more permissive and would support EU assistance through financial, economic and humanitarian means, while only 16 percent of the population would also send arms and other military equipment to Ukraine.

The poll reveals that Orbán’s stance of supporting humanitarian aid for Ukraine while rejecting sending weapons is generally in line with what the population is willing to support, while there are still many Hungarians who want to take the step of cutting off support entirely.

      To be fair… I once heard it explained as allowing Chinese cops to be stationed in a major city to help the tens of thousands of Chinese tourists that come through…?

      Of course, spying on the local Chinese and the local government is done… But not by street cops.

      All that is happening through the embassy - and it’s happening all the time.

      Obviously, the street cop will probably get really big eyes and take vigorous notes if a Chinese national is running around Budapest shouting about Tibet and Uighurs, and he’ll do his best to obtain that guys name, but… in a can of beans, this is the smallest bean.
