EU leaders criticize Hungarian prime minister for 'peace trip' to Russia | DW News

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday to discuss the war in Ukraine. Putin said he wanted to take the opportunity to "discuss the nuances that have developed" over the conflict with Orban. Orban said at a press conference with Putin in Moscow that Hungary viewed its six-month stint holding the rotating European Council presidency as a peace mission.
"Many steps are needed to end the war, but we took the first step to restore dialogue," Orban said, adding that "points of view remained far from each other in Kyiv and Moscow." The Hungarian PM also visited Kyiv, for the first time since Russia's invasion, earlier in the week.

"Blessed are the peacemakers ..." - That's mandate enough 👍

[@mikilos100]

Go for the peace talk! Go for peace!😊

[@user-pz6bq6mb7n]

The haters of peace were upset but blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called Sons of God. Now you know whose sons are the haters of peace.🎉🎉🎉

Intentions/real reasons behind this.

The hypocrisy of EU, whats wrong with orban talking to the president of Russia to negotiate peace?.. europe keeps talking about peace whilst arming ukraine..like wtf..

[@davidray6962]

He's checking in with his boss.

[@Meeko2689]

Just like Zelenskyy check on his

[@Mestari1Gaming]

Another zog-bot. Zelenskyi is an equal with the rest of the western leaders. That is all.

[@gtaraya]

@@davidray6962 ok? But He’s there to talk about ending the war. When’s the last time EU talked to the other side?

Orban is very wise man .

[@gheorghefalcaru]

How can EU allow Orban to chair the civilized world?

[@ZsH85]

they tried to prevent that but THANK GOD they have failed! peace!

[@Dave-Tran]

'You can not make peace by whining in Brussels'. Orban is brave man.

[@Maximiliano896]

Are there no windows available?

[@fightthetrolls]

Orban hasn't visited Ukraine in 14 years until now!! Let that sink in for a moment.

[@TheBloominRage]

Stoltenberg is a weasel.

[@comabtreels6555]

if my ears are not failing me, i think i heard the translator translate Putin words as he expects to hear where orban stands and where the EU stands, he never said Orban represents EU or NATO And not what you guys are saying, your Orban can have different views from the EU, and as hungary is part of the EU, he knows exactly where they stand

[@xProGenitoRx]

You ears not failing you. You are just lying. That exactly what he said.

[@comabtreels6555]

Lol, understanding is a skill my friend, it's a skill you clearly lack

[@user-bp2mn7lo6v]

Orban is the real man of peace. Thank you sir orban

[@fajarcahyono3693]

He is not representing EU, he is only representing Hungarian People & Peaceful World

[@dlabor1965]

Orban might not represent the current EU leaders but they all will be gone soon. He has met with the upcoming leaders of Europe prior to his trip to Moscow. The Austrian president should have done this two and a half years ago to avoid this disaster.
