Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted a video on his X account Saturday which summarized his remarks in regard to peace in Europe and the war in Ukraine. The video was from Orban’s speech at a university in Baile Tusnad, Romania. Orban first quoted from what he said was an EU treaty, which says “The goal of the Union is peace.” He reminded people of his emphasis that Brussels today has a pro-war policy, adding that they say “they support war for the sake of peace.”
He then comes to his recent “peace mission” wherein he visited Kiev, Moscow, Beijing, and the U.S. with the mission of peace. “Let us remind ourselves that, despite all the criticism, since the beginning of the peace mission, the American and Russian defence ministers have talked to each other, the Swiss and Russian foreign ministers have held negotiations, President Zelensky finally called President Trump, and the Ukrainian foreign minister travelled to Beijing. In other words, the fermentation has begun. We are slowly but surely moving from a pro-war European policy to a pro-peace policy. This is inevitable because time is on the side of the pro-peace policy.”
