Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is banking on the outcome of the upcoming US election and the possible return of former President Donald Trump to help resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Orban believes that a Trump victory would shift the balance in favor of peace supporters in Ukraine, paving the way for a peaceful resolution.
During his recent peace mission, Orban visited key players in the conflict, including Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing, and Trump’s estate in Florida. He emphasized the need for Europe to focus on building a peaceful future post-election, highlighting Hungary’s objectives during its presidency of the EU Council.
In a letter to European Council President Charles Michel, Orban outlined his observations from his visits to Ukraine and Russia, noting that both parties are reluctant to pursue peace, hoping to gain an advantage through time. Orban’s efforts to mediate and promote peace in the region reflect his commitment to fostering stability and reconciliation.
