Orban is doing his job, Unlike the other, Unlike the press !!!

[@bk818]

Yes, it's true...Orban gave an attempt...Unlike the other...to somehow end the war in Ukraine...and to stop the deaths of soldiers and hostages...but it only remained an attempt...Putin clearly stated the conditions under which would really approach negotiations...and it is clear...even before Orban's visit...he said that he firmly stands behind it...and the more it moves away from the point of negotiations and refusing to meet these conditions, the more difficult and demanding it will be the following terms after NATO, EU, USA and Ukraine...as a battlefield...and I mean not a negotiating side...because Ukraine is not that...Even when Trump is elected...things will not improve because there are some previous administrations and those who were behind it...involved very deeply in the matter...who did not...in my opinion care about the military operations stopping...so the military fighting will continue until the complete cleansing of Ukraine ...from the influence of the West...that is, the EU, NATO, the USA, the UK of France and many others...and the corrupt government in Kiev itself...this is very well known to everyone in the world...there is no need to keep quiet anymore eyes...

@user-ee8ijse4l. The reason for the outcry from otan is that the countries involved are under the black thumb of the u s and they do what they are told to do, and they are all very afraid of the u s , because they do believe that the u s is the only thing,or a god, that is in the universe 🎉😢😢
