World War III Soon? Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has sounded the alarm, accusing Brussels of secretly preparing for war while hiding behind a "failed pro-war policy." His remarks come after the European Commission advised citizens to stockpile essential supplies for at least 72 hours, fueling fears of an impending crisis. Szijjártó ridiculed the advisory, calling it absurd and questioning why, in the 21st century, Europeans should be bracing for survival scenarios. He warned that the EU's obsession with military escalation is dragging the continent closer to disaster, even as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for a ceasefire and diplomatic resolution. #WorldWarIII #EuropeAtWar #EUWarPrep #RussiaUkraineWar #EuropeCrisis #WarInEurope #UkraineConflict #WW3Threat #EUvsRussia #FranceWarPrep #MilitaryEscalation #GlobalTensions #EuropeUnderThreat #WarPreparations #BigWarComing Also Read Trump's Words On Greenland Ring Alarms In Europe, But Officials Have Guarded Response :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-words-on-greenland-ring-alarms-in-europe-but-officials-have-guarded-response-4039489.html?ref=DMDesc Explained | Declining Support For Ukraine In Europe: What’s Behind The Shift? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-declining-support-for-ukraine-in-europe-what-s-behind-the-shift-4027415.html?ref=DMDesc NATO Chief Mark Rutte Warns of Putin's Intent for Long-Term Confrontation with Europe :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/nato-chief-warns-putin-long-term-confrontation-europe-011-4014089.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.97~PR.152~GR.124~ED.102~
