KEPENTINGAN HUNGARIA DALAM MENOLAK PENGIRIMAN BANTUAN MILITER DAN EKONOMI TERHADAP UKRAINA TAHUN 2022 - 2024

Abstract

The Russia-Ukraine war that has been going on since 2022 has been going on for quite a long time with its impact spreading to the surrounding regions, so that several countries and parties have begun to respond to this condition. The European Union and NATO are some of the parties that have responded to this conflict by imposing sanctions on Russia and sending military and economic aid to Ukraine, but not all member countries of the alliance agree with this policy. Hungary is one of the countries that strongly rejects sanctions against Russia and the provision of military and economic aid to Ukraine, which Hungary sees as only worsening the conflict. This study aims to analyze the national interests of Hungary so that it rejects military and economic aid issued by NATO and the European Union. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive research method with library method data collection, the main approach used is neorealism supported by the concept of national interest. The results of this study indicate that the national interests of Hungary are related to its harmonious relationship with Russia and their dependence on the economy and energy since the past.
