Orban: Trump to Broker Ukraine Peace if Elected

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has asserted that if Donald Trump is elected president, he will move swiftly to broker peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, based on their recent discussions. Orban's letter to EU leaders, following controversial meetings with Trump, Putin, and Xi Jinping, claims Trump has detailed plans for immediate action and suggests reopening diplomatic lines with Russia and high-level negotiations with China. This stance has drawn criticism from other EU leaders who remain committed to supporting Ukraine. Orban's actions have led to a boycott by the European Commission of informal meetings during Hungary's EU presidency, as many see his unauthorized diplomacy as undermining EU unity on Ukraine. Orban has also hinted that Trump's approach might shift the financial burden of supporting Ukraine more heavily onto the EU.
