“Donald Trump will no longer give a cent to Ukraine” if he is re-elected president of the United States. This is what Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told the press in Budapest, after the meeting between the two “old friends” at Mar-a-Lago. “The war will therefore end, because it is obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet,” he said. Ties between Budapest and Moscow are not new: the prime minister repeatedly refused to send weapons to kyiv and maintained relations with Russia and President Putin even after the invasion. During his trip across the ocean, the Fidesz leader met the former tycoon, but not the current president. From what New York Times, it was the Hungarian Prime Minister who would have asked to be invited. And on Friday evening, Trump and his wife – who reappeared publicly at his side after a long absence – opened the doors of their villa in Florida to him. But before the negotiations at the seaside resort, Orbán made a stop in Washington to thinking group Heritage Conservation Foundation. Then he flew to Mar-a-Lago, entering the 2024 US election campaign with a right leg, thus giving his approval, as expected, to Trump: “We need leaders in the world who are respected and capable of bringing peace. He's one of them! Come back and bring us peace, Mr. President!” he wrote on ed) at Mar-a-Lago? Hungary's Orbán has openly declared that he does not believe in democracy and seeks dictatorship. I see a future in which we defend democracy, rather than diminish it,” Biden’s message.
“Biden respects the pope, but peace depends on Moscow”
The positions of the occupant of the White House on Ukraine are firm. “Peace depends on Moscow,” he reiterated today through the spokesperson for the United States National Security Council, whoHandle commented on the statements of Pope Francis. The latter, in an interview on Swiss television, called for peace negotiations in kyiv, declaring that he who raises the white flag is courageous. “Unfortunately, we still see no signs that Russia wants to end this war and that is why we are committed to supporting kyiv in its defense against Russian aggression,” the official stressed. The Pontiff's remarks, subsequently clarified by the Vatican press room, prompted the Ukrainian embassy to the Holy See and President Zelensky himself to intervene on the issue. Russian madness “must lose this war” was the (shared) call invoked by many.
