In a television interview, Siarto said: “The prevailing international liberal current finds it difficult to comprehend that the Hungarian Prime Minister is the only European politician who has succeeded in maintaining a natural, cultural, and civilizational cooperation based on mutual respect with leaders of major world powers, both East and West.” He added: “Currently, there is no other European leader like him (Viktor Orban).” Last week, Putin and Trump held their eighth phone call of the year, which lasted two hours. Following the conversation, Russian President’s aide Yuri Ushakov explained that “Moscow and Washington will immediately begin preparing for a new meeting between the leaders, which might take place in Budapest.” Ushakov noted that the Hungarian capital was proposed by the American side, and the Russian President supported the idea.
