Prime Minister Viktor Orban asserts that Budapest is the only location suitable for sealing a peace deal on the Ukraine conflict.
BUDAPEST - Hungary stands alone as the only nation capable of brokering an end to the war in Ukraine, according to Prime Minister
Viktor Orban.
This assertion came during his address commemorating the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against Soviet rule.
Orban's statement gains prominence amid plans for a summit in Budapest that was to include US President
Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin; however, these plans have been postponed.
The political landscape is further complicated by Orban's view on Ukraine's sovereignty, suggesting that the country 'has long not been sovereign.'
The Hungarian Prime Minister expressed reluctance towards Ukraine joining the European Union but proposed an alternative path for EU engagement with Ukraine, indicating a nuanced relationship instead of full membership.
