Orban Calls for Ceasefire in Ukraine

Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, proposed the establishment of a buffer zone near the Russian border as a potential solution for Ukraine to achieve peace and security amidst the ongoing conflict with Moscow. 

Orban emphasized the importance of a ceasefire at this critical juncture, highlighting the diminishing Western support for Ukraine both militarily and financially, leading to territorial losses for the Ukrainian army. 

The Hungarian Prime Minister pointed out the lack of consensus between Russia and the West, stating that European nations are reluctant to provide further financial aid to Ukraine, as it may not lead to a military victory. 

Orban reiterated his stance on the buffer zone as a viable peace strategy for Ukraine, contingent upon additional security assurances to prevent the loss of the country. 

He also underscored Russia’s opposition to Ukraine’s NATO membership aspirations, a key factor in the conflict, as Moscow views NATO’s expansion as a threat to its security.
