The Deep State and EU officials are flipping out over the visit. How dare this man want peace and to speak with Putin! This is the actual attitude of media on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a notable display of diplomatic independence, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently visited Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin, marking a rare instance of a Western leader engaging directly with Russia amid heightened tensions. This visit came notably close on the heels of Orban’s trip to Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The timing was particularly significant as Hungary had just assumed the rotating presidency of the European Union, sparking immediate responses from other EU leaders emphasizing that Orban did not represent the EU in his discussions in Moscow.

Putin reiterated his firm stance regarding the conflict with Ukraine, making clear that Russia’s position on a peace settlement was contingent upon Ukraine conceding territory and abandoning its NATO aspirations. Orban, known for his far-right political leanings and alliances with authoritarian figures, asserted his intent to facilitate peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. However, Ukrainian officials have consistently dismissed the possibility of negotiations, citing a belief that Putin’s terms would essentially demand their country’s surrender.
Orban’s visit marks the first official engagement between a European Union leader and Putin since the early months following the Ukraine invasion, with the last such meeting occurring when the Austrian chancellor visited in April 2022. The Hungarian leader’s approach, which includes a second meeting with Putin since the conflict began, reflects a pattern of diverging from EU consensus and seeking engagement with Russia.

Within the EU, Orban’s actions have prompted criticism and clarification from high-level officials. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the EU’s chief diplomat, Josep Borrell Fontelles, each made statements clarifying that Orban’s visit was a bilateral matter and not representative of the EU. The European Council President, Charles Michel, emphasized the inappropriateness of any member state engaging with Russia on behalf of the EU, asserting the clear delineation of the aggressor and victim in the conflict.
Orban’s stance has also influenced his domestic and international political relationships. In Poland, for instance, there is growing concern over Hungary’s cozying up to Russia, with former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki expressing reservations about aligning with Orban’s faction in the European Parliament due to their differing stances on the Ukrainian conflict.

Orban’s maneuvers in foreign policy continue to stir debate both within Hungary and across Europe, as leaders grapple with the appropriate level of engagement with Russia while seeking to maintain a unified front in support of Ukraine. Ukraine is a lost cause militarily, and now the powers that be look upon the nation as defeated but a willing vessel for all sorts of WEF experiments. Digital ID, biolabs and much more are all in play. Who knows what horrors the globalists have planned for not only Ukraine, but the rest of us.
Major Points:
- Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, shortly after visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.
- Orban’s visit coincided with Hungary assuming the European Union’s rotating presidency, prompting EU leaders to clarify he did not represent the EU in Moscow.
- Putin reiterated Russia’s conditions for peace, demanding Ukraine relinquish claimed territories and abandon NATO aspirations.
- The visit reflects Orban’s pattern of defying EU consensus and engaging with authoritarian leaders, further isolating Hungary within the EU.
- EU officials and leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and European Council President Charles Michel, distanced themselves from Orban’s actions, emphasizing the EU’s collective stance against Russia’s aggression.
