New survey: How much do Hungarians trust Trump to end the Russia–Ukraine war?
Change language:
Fully 77 percent of Hungarians thinks that president-elect Donald Trump stands a good chance of ending the war in Ukraine in 2025, a survey published by pro-government Századvég on Tuesday has shown.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese Presidenet Xi Jinping and Trump, then the Republican presidential nominee, in July, “with the aim of gauging the stance of the warring parties and promoting peace”, the think-tank said in connection with the survey, conducted with a sample of 1,000 people.
The “peace mission” had been harshly criticised by the Brussels elite, Századvég said.
“The survey shows that, unlike Brussels leadership, the Hungarian public backs Orbán’s efforts to hasten the end of the war,” the think-tank said.
Fully 68 percent of respondents agreed that Orbán promoted ending the war. “Thanks to the pro-peace stance of Hungary, 74 percent opposes the US government and certain EU member states shipping long-range missiles to Ukraine, it said.
Further, 77 percent of Hungarians considered there was a realistic chance that Trump would successfully end the conflict in 2025, it added. Fully 51 percent of respondents had a positive view of Trump, the survey showed.
Unarmed Ukraine against the Russians?
It is important to underline that the Hungarian government has been saying for years that Ukraine should not be given arms, which would have meant that Russia would have been crushing our eastern neighbour.
The EU – NATO and the US were all there in 2013 when they decided to get rid of the goverment elected by Ukraine people – what the hell did you think Russia would do. They all made a pact that NATO would not move closer after the fall of the wall – I don’t trust Russia, but I sure don’t trust the west either atleast the people who have been charge along with the western media
Russia is just using NATO expansion as an excuse to attack small and weak countries. Why did russia not attack Sweden and Finland before they join NATO recently? Cause Putin is not am idiot and knows attacking them will mean to be crushed. Now Russia is even more surrounded by NATO borders than before. Such a protective behavior eh?
