Ukraine's recent sanctions on Russian oil giant Lukoil have sent shockwaves through Central Europe, exposing Hungary's reliance on discounted Russian crude.
In a report sent to European Council President Charles Michel, Viktor Orbán claims that former US President Donald Trump has "detailed and well-founded plans" to act as a peace broker in the Russo-Ukrainian war after winning a potential election.
In a letter to top EU officials, 63 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) criticized Viktor Orbán's diplomatic outreach to Russia and China and called for the suspension of Hungary's voting rights in the Council, as “mere verbal condemnations have no effect.”
After his meeting with Zelenskyy in Kyiv, Orban met with Putin in Moscow and wrote about it in a letter to EU leaders, mentioning that Putin discussed Ukrainian military losses in detail but did not talk about Russian casualties at the front.
