The Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban Has Called for negotiations between the US and Russia on a ceasefire in Ukraine – and he is counting on US President Donald Trump, who was voted out of office two years ago. “The ceasefire does not have to come about between Russia and Ukraine, but between America and Russia,” Orban said in a public interview with Cicero magazine in Berlin, according to the official translation. “Anyone who thinks that this war will be concluded through Russian-Ukrainian negotiations does not live in this world. The reality of power is different.”
Orban explains that Ukraine can only defend itself against the Russian invaders because it has military support from the United States. The war is only open today because the Americans wanted it that way. “That’s why the Americans have to come to an agreement with the Russians. And then the war will be over.”
Orban also made it clear that he doesn’t think US President Joe Biden is the right negotiator on the American side. “The American president has gone too far,” he says. Biden has said things about Russian President Vladimir Putin that it is difficult for the two to negotiate peace. “What I’m saying will sound brutal now. But hope for peace is called Donald Trump”says Orban, according to the translation
