In an interview with Bild, Viktor Orbán said that both Ukraine and Russia rejected his proposal to first declare a truce and then start negotiations. He emphasized that Putin cannot afford to lose, given Russia's substantial military resources, making a Russian defeat hard to imagine. He added that Ukrainian officials are more optimistic about their situation due to receiving high-quality weapons from the West. While acknowledging Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Orbán stated his focus is on achieving peace rather than assigning blame.

We are already seeing the fruits of Orban’s negotiations: more war crimes! ruZZia strike children hospital in Kyiv but no blaming, right?
