Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary has presented a proposal on achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine to European leaders. The plan, according to political director Balazs Orban, is grounded in realistic assessments and goals.
During Hungary’s presidency of the Council of the EU, Orban embarked on a “peace mission” to Kyiv, Moscow, and Beijing, with a concluding meeting with Donald Trump. The visit to Moscow, particularly the meeting with Russian President Putin, has drawn criticism from the EU.
While Hungary refrained from imposing sanctions on Russia and delayed aid to Ukraine, Balazs Orban hinted at engaging other international actors for peace efforts. He praised Trump’s commitment to peace and criticized current EU and US leadership for being “pro-war.”
Orban’s peace plan is now under consideration by EU prime ministers, aiming at realistic goals and timelines for peace negotiations without revealing specific details.
