Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has stirred up controversy during his visit to Ukraine, urging the country to agree to a cease-fire with Russia as the conflict in the region continues to escalate. Orban, known for his close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been criticized for his reluctance to support Ukraine within the European Union.
This visit comes as Orban assumes the rotating EU presidency, a position that holds significant influence over EU policy. Many are questioning Orban’s motives for pushing for a ceasefire, given his history of obstructing efforts to aid Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
It remains to be seen whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will entertain Orban’s proposal for a cease-fire, as tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue to mount. The outcome of this visit could have far-reaching implications for the ongoing crisis in Eastern Europe.
