What is Hungary’s Orban trying to achieve with his 'peace missions' ? | DW News

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to the US state of Florida on Thursday, where he met with former President Donald Trump following a NATO summit in Washington.
The meeting is part of Orban's self-proclaimed "peace mission" to end Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is likely to add to frustration among Western allies over similar secret trips he has made to Russia and China in the past few days.

The problem is that the peace offer is allowing russia keep all occupied areas of Ukraina and even more they want as well for Ukraina would not be allowed to join EU or Nato. And if course this offer is not possible for Ukraina to agree with.

[@thaihm]

Nothing wrong with seeking peace. I’m more cautious about how trendy words are used. I recall hearing the words « special military operation ». It is unusual to see this much effort for « peace » when it’s only a special military operation at hand. Then again, it could be possible that one of these terms is not used correctly.

[@inoculateinoculate9486]

He's not seeking for peace. He's seeking for Ukraine to surrender to Russia. How about he lobbies Putin to leave Ukraine, and return his troops to within his own borders? That would also be peace, and more importantly, would not reward war, which is the opposite of peace. Russia broke the peace, it makes sense that they should stop their illegal war so PEACE like we had before can occur.

Orban is not negociating any "peace". He's negociating Ukraine's capitulation.

[@kiskawillis]

Imagine you're from America, and your neighbor, Mexico, decides to reclaim Arizona and California, territories they once owned. You and your friends head to the front lines to defend your country, while Mexican soldiers devastate cities like Tucson and L.A., torturing men and women and kidnapping American children for forced adoption in Mexico. Meanwhile, Orban, (ie., Jabba The Hutt), embarks on a so-called peace mission, pressuring American allies to surrender territory to Mexico without addressing the atrocities committed. How many of your friends who have been fighting and lost some of their friends during this fight would accept such an offer? Now, consider Ukraine: Crimea was annexed in 2014, and here we are in 2024, with Russia wanting more. Why would Russia stop if they are not held fully accountable?

Exactly. They are trying so hard to paint the democratically-elected leader of a NATO country as an authoritarian dictator simply because he doesn't agree on every single issue. He is in NATO for a reason, but he's being treated as if he's Putin's stooge for ostensibly trying to negotiate a settlement.

The measured response of EU countries to Orban seems appropriate at this time. Orban appears to me to be pro-Hungarian, rather than pro-Russian. Europe should watch what he does very carefully.

[@MrPatgiard]

Поскольку те немногие избранные лидеры, которые прилагают усилия для мирного прекращения войны на Украине, подвергаются резкой критике со стороны Европейского союза, становится ясно, что все еще есть влиятельные люди, интересы которых явно противоречат достижению мирного соглашения с Россией. При таком мышлении страдания гражданского населения, к сожалению, будут продолжаться до тех пор, пока не будет найдено дипломатическое решение, предполагающее раздел территорий.

[@PetrCaracas]

[@screambeyond]

He doesn't want peace. He just supports what Putin wants: Giving to Russia the territories that Russia has gained with mass murder and nuclear threat. Doing that is not peace, but rewarding Putin for committing mass murder. Plus Russia just wants to use "peace" to have time to re-arm its army and invading again.
