PM Orbán’s Fidesz demands immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, says Brussels, Washington are pro-war

When Prime Minister Viktor Orbán warned in the summer that the intensity of the war in Ukraine would escalate rapidly, after his round of diplomacy with the Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese and Turkish presidents, events have since proven him right, Fidesz communications director Tamás Menczer said on Facebook.

He said Orbán wrote the warning in a report to the president of the European Council in July.

In the video post late on Tuesday, Menczer added that during meetings with the leaders and the former US president, Donald Trump, it had become clear that the warring parties were not interested in a ceasefire and only an outside party could bring them to the table.

“This is unlikely as the current American and Brussels leadership are pro-war,” he said.

So Trump’s role as a peace mediator “is especially important”, he said.

“The only way to establish peace is to negotiate with the Chinese, with the Russians … and with the countries of the global South,” he cited Orbán as saying.
