Budapest stands for peace, while Brussels has “isolated itself” due to its warmongering policies, the Hungarian prime minister has said
Hungary was chosen to host a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump because it stands for peace, while the rest of the EU has “isolated itself” with its warmongering policies, Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.
Trump spoke with Putin by phone on Thursday amid renewed tensions over potential US Tomahawk deliveries to Ukraine and stalled peace talks. He later described the two-and-a-half-hour conversation as “so productive” that a peace deal could come soon, adding that the two leaders agreed to hold a summit in Budapest.
“Why Budapest?.. The answer is simple: We are the only ones in Europe standing for peace,” Orban wrote on Facebook on Saturday. He noted that Hungary, unlike most of its EU peers, did not sever ties with Russia following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. “We have never lectured anyone… We have never closed channels of negotiation. It is very difficult to convince anyone of anything if we do not talk to them.”
