RT: Orban meets Trump to talk ‘peace mission’
The Hungarian prime minister says he is sure the Republican will “solve” the Ukraine crisis
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has met with GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump as part of the former’s effort to settle the Ukraine conflict.
The Hungarian leader, who has repeatedly criticized the West’s approach to the hostilities and called for an immediate ceasefire, traveled to Russia, Ukraine, and China last week to discuss prospects for a peaceful settlement. He later attended NATO’s annual summit in Washington, but did not hold high-level talks with US President Joe Biden.
Writing on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Orban said he visited Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida as part of what he called “peace mission 5.0.” “We discussed ways to make peace. The good news of the day: he’s going to solve it!” the Hungarian Prime Minister noted, posting a photo of him standing next to Trump, with both smiling.
The GOP presidential frontrunner responded to Orban, writing on the Truth Social network: “Thank you Viktor. There must be PEACE, and quickly. Too many people have died in a war that should never have started!”
Orban previously hailed Trump as “a man of peace,” under whose watch the US “did not initiate a single war.” The Republican has repeatedly vowed to end the Ukraine conflict within 24 hours if elected. While the details of this plan remain sketchy, last week Politico reported, citing sources, that Trump could strike a deal under which “NATO commits to no further eastward expansion,” specifically into Ukraine and Georgia while holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin “over how much Ukrainian territory Moscow can keep.”
During his visit to Kiev, the Hungarian leader called on Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky to agree to a ceasefire with Russia, a proposal the latter rejected. Zelensky also suggested that Orban does not have the clout required to negotiate an end to the conflict, noting that only the US, EU, or China could fill that role.
Orban also traveled to Russia and met with Putin in an attempt to find, as he put it, “the shortest way out” of the Ukraine conflict. Numerous media reports suggested that this trip outraged many Western officials. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said that Ukraine was right to be concerned by attempts to negotiate peace without its participation. “Whatever adventurism is being undertaken without Ukraine’s consent or support is not something that’s consistent with our policy, the foreign policy of the United States,” he stressed.

After Trump, and China after that, Orban will be rushing to Bolehland to consult with MacMullah of MacDani.
And that would make a wonderful fairytale for the believers of MacDani, Alhamdullilah!
Orban is a mischievous chap, he might get a hit job on him like that Slovakia fella.
The Ukrainistan war mustn't stop, the money is just too good for some. Even just next door, Singapore is making hundreds of million USD providing 155mm artillery shells for Ukrainistan. While our gomen is only helping the Zionists by selling our strategic assets to its backers
Since MacMullah of MacDani isn't getting anywhere with Palestine or being an international statesman, he should move on to the Ukrainistan crisis. It would help with the Arab and Muslim world not giving him the camel's droppings for MacMullah to turn to old handler like Paul Wolfowitz to reintroduce him to the Yankistan deep state, the neocons, and the Yahudis.
