Orban added on the social media platform ‘X’ that “If Europe does not negotiate directly with Russia, Moscow and Washington will make a deal over our heads.” The Hungarian Prime Minister commented on the statement by EU leaders regarding Ukraine, in which they pledged to continue providing military and diplomatic support to Kyiv and to impose sanctions on Russia. Budapest did not support this document. President Putin mentioned last Thursday that a meeting with Zelensky is possible, but conditions must be prepared for such negotiations, which remain elusive.
