Orbán cabinet: New US administration did not see the war in Ukraine as strategically important
Change language:
The US is in a position to strengthen ties with Russia, and Ukraine will have to adapt to this reality, Balázs Orbán, the political director of the Prime Minister’s Office, said in an interview to public radio on Tuesday.
He said the US is a decisive player in terms of resolving the conflict and shaping the new European and Western approach to the issue, noting that the US has been key to Ukraine’s defence capabilities over the past three years.
The new US administration, he added, did not see the war in Ukraine as strategically important, so it wanted to shut it down, with “painful and hard” consequences for relations with Ukraine.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had been saying for years that with Donald Trump again in the White House, the US would negotiate directly with Russia to end the war. He made his views clear to all EU heads of state and government in writing, warning that Europe should develop its own peace strategy.
He added that the “European elite” had made poor decisions on all key strategic issues, such as the war, relations with China, US politics, migration, green policy, and competitiveness.
He said Hungary had chosen a starkly different path, developing strategic relations with the new US administration, China, and Russia while generally maintaining pragmatic cooperation and communication channels.
Orbán said Hungary aimed to build good relations with all major powers “based on pragmatic national interest”.
Christian Democrats: Early resolution of armed conflicts ‘shared interest’
An early resolution of armed conflicts and “reopening the doors to a longer period of development through dialogue and on a basis of trust and peace” is a “shared interest”, the group leader of the co-ruling Christian Democrats said in a statement on Monday.
Russia is a malevolent entity that threatens all of Europe and the Orban government works for Russia. Europe is experiencing the biggest existential threat since 1945. Russia has developed a war economy and is expanding its’ army. It has stationed nuclear weapons in Belarus. Once the war in Ukraine is over Russia’s well-developed war machine will turn its’ attention to the Baltics and Poland and this may easily be within the next year. Putin has no desire for peace. He wants to continue his territorial expansion. NATO and the EU need to strengthen defences as quickly as possible and the traitor Hungarian Orban government needs to be sidelined from all decision making. The US cannot be relied on to protect Europe with Trump as president. We all know that. This is Putin’s big chance to destroy European security and everyone better take this very very seriously. Hungarians will live in shame for decades for what its’ government has done to undermine Europe when Putin continues his attack.
Question. WHY is Hungary spending 2 percent plus on Defense? And why will our Politicians increase this spend, as will all of Europe?

How do Voldemort’s allies, enablers and supporters generally end up? Does he have friends?
Lastly … All the “Sovereignty!” our Politicians love to bang on about – it is OK if Russia erodes the sovereignty of our neighbors? We are entitled, everyone else … Not so much. Red meat for the masses.
…even the US government and taxpayers are tired of Zelensky’s little act of begging…strange that citizens of EU who will now end up paying for another 20-year war and the destruction of Ukraine are so enthusiastic about keeping the war going…it is only a matter of dead Ukrainians, destroyed infrastructure and poor dead Russian soldiers…wonder how other countries’ citizens would feel if this was occurring in their territories…
