Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he was "scared" by the Victory Plan presented by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Orban noted that he wants to call on the German Chancellor and the French President to start negotiations with the Russians on behalf of the entire European Union, UNN reports.
"President Zelenskiy has presented his Victory Plan. What he outlined yesterday in the Ukrainian parliament is more than frightening," Orban wrote on Facebook before the EU summit.
Hungary's Prime Minister says he is among those calling on the European Union to change its current strategy.
He argues that the European Union "entered" this war with a poorly organized, poorly implemented, poorly calculated strategy. He calls for changes.
Orbán once again repeated the Russian narrative that we need to move "from a strategy of war to a strategy of peace. We need a ceasefire and peace talks!"
"I also call today on the German Chancellor and the French President to start negotiations with the Russians as soon as possible on behalf of the entire European Union so that we can find a way out of this situation," Orban said.
