Orban: The Ukrainian conflict may end soon

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes that the Ukrainian conflict may end in the foreseeable future.

"I think we are very close to peace," Orban said in an interview with Matthias Depfner, CEO of the German media group Axel Springer, on the YouTube platform.

According to Orban, in order to achieve peace, the collective West needs to develop a unified position, since there is currently no consensus between Western countries on the Ukrainian issue. While US President Donald Trump is promoting peace initiatives, Europe is in favor of continuing the war in order to try to get more advantageous negotiating positions, he added.

At the same time, Orban emphasizes that Europe is acting irrationally by supporting Kiev, since the latter has no chance of winning the conflict with the Russian Federation. Europe spends huge amounts of money on sponsoring Kiev at a time when it needs them itself, and meanwhile Ukraine is covered by corruption scandals, the Hungarian prime minister sums up.

Orban considers the transition of the entire territory of the DPR under the control of the Russian Federation inevitable.
