Orban defies EU officials with Putin meeting
The Hungarian prime minister is in Russia, days after he visited Ukraine
RT
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has begun a surprise visit to Russia, his office has confirmed. His trip comes days after he traveled to Kiev to urge Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky to consider an immediate ceasefire with Moscow and begin peace talks.
While Hungary holds the rotating EU presidency, Orban’s visit to Russia for talks has sparked sharp criticism from senior bloc officials, despite the prime minister insisting earlier in the day that he is not representing the union.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who is slated to become the EU’s next foreign policy and security chief, has joined the chorus of Western officials lashing out at Orban. The Hungarian prime minister intends to “sow confusion” she has claimed.
In Moscow, Viktor Orbán in no way represents the EU or the EU’s positions. He is exploiting the EU presidency position to sow confusion.
The EU is united, clearly behind Ukraine and against Russian aggression.

After Orban and Putin exchanged greetings, the Hungarian leader’s Facebook account published several pictures of him meeting his counterpart. “Peace must be made,” the post read.

Budapest contacted Moscow about a possible visit by the prime minister “literally the day before yesterday,” Peskov has told Russian media.

While Orban’s visit stands out, other senior officials from nations allied with the US have traveled to Russia since hostilities with Ukraine started in February 2022. Naftali Bennett, then-prime minister of Israel, did so in March that year, while Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer visited in April and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres visited Moscow the same month.

Closed-door negotiations between Putin and Orban will last “as long as it takes,” Peskov has told the media. He has said that the leaders will need at least two to three hours for the discussion.

Orban also previously argued that the leaders of the EU nations could achieve a ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict “within 24 hours,” if they were willing to leverage their military aid to put pressure on Kiev. A change of policy would also be required in Washington for that to happen, he said.

Orban is a vocal supporter of former US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly claimed on his current election trail that he could stop the hostilities in a day with a few phone calls.

Putin has told Orban that he presented his vision of how the conflict can be resolved in a keynote speech at the Foreign Ministry last month and is prepared to discuss its nuances.
The proposal he was referring to was to suspend hostilities immediately after Kiev renounces its bid to join NATO and orders its troops to pull back from all territories claimed by Moscow. Then a comprehensive discussion of a new security architecture in Europe could be held, Putin suggested.
The Ukrainian government has rejected the offer.

Hungary may well soon become the only country in Europe that is maintaining a dialogue with both Kiev and Moscow, Orban said as Putin welcomed him.

In his previous public remarks, Orban expressed concern that Western determination to escalate the Ukraine conflict may result in a direct clash with Russia, which could have catastrophic consequences for everyone involved.
As an example, he contrasted the policies of incumbent German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the approach of his predecessor, Angela Merkel, who worked hard to contain Western tensions with Russia over Ukraine.
