Orbán Says Trump Willing to Mediate Ukraine Conflict
ai generated text
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has written to European leaders stating that former US President Donald Trump is willing to act as a peace broker between Russia and Ukraine. Orbán's letter, which was written after his meetings with Trump, Putin, and Xi Jinping, claims that Trump has "detailed and well-founded" plans for achieving peace. According to Orbán, the likely outcome of a Trump victory would be the reopening of direct diplomatic communication with Russia and high-level political talks with China. He also suggests that the financial burden of supporting Ukraine's war effort would shift from the US to the EU.
If I'm president, I will have that war settled in one day, 24 hours.
I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.
In light of recent developments marking the start of the Hungarian presidency the president has decided that @EU_Commission will be represented at senior civil servant level only during informal meetings of the council.
I can […] surely state that shortly after his election victory, he will not wait until his inauguration, [Trump] will be ready to act as a peace broker immediately. He has detailed and well-founded plans for this.
We are convinced that – in political terms – we should use the entire period of Hungary's EU presidency to establish the right conditions for peace negotiations.
I am more than convinced that in the likely outcome of the victory of President Trump, the proportion of the financial burden between the US and the EU will significantly change to the EU's disadvantage when it comes to the financial support of Ukraine.
In Ukraine, the peace and freedom of the whole of Europe are being defended. Hungary should know who its real friends are.
We've always supported diplomacy when Ukraine is ready, but it has never been clear that the Kremlin is ready for actual diplomacy.
