Kyiv • UNN
The Hungarian prime minister predicts that the war in Ukraine will end in 2025 through peace talks or the destruction of one of the parties. He also criticized the West's spending to support Ukraine and called Putin an “honest partner.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes that the war in Ukraine will end in 2025 and there are only two options for the development of events. Orban said this in an interview with Magyar Nemzet, UNN reports.
The war will end in 2025. Either it will end in peace negotiations, or one of the warring parties will be destroyed
According to him, "we entered into a military conflict with Russia, which was beyond our power".
America and Europe together spent about 300 billion euros on the war, money that could have been used to rapidly raise living standards across Europe. We could have raised the entire Balkans to the level of European development. We could have curbed migration, we could have built a completely new European defense system. But this money was burned," Orban said.
The Hungarian prime minister noted that "one-fifth of Ukraine's territory is under occupation, hundreds of thousands of people are killed, hundreds of thousands are maimed, hundreds of thousands are wounded, hundreds of thousands are widowed and orphaned. Meanwhile, millions of people have fled Ukraine, whose infrastructure, transportation and energy systems have been destroyed, and the country is unable to sustain itself economically in the foreseeable future."
Obran also called Russian dictator Vladimir Putin an "honest partner" of Hungary.
Addendum
The head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, said that real negotiations on a sustainable peace will begin only when Russia does not have the resources to continue the war.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has noted that Europe and America can bring about an end to the war, a just and lasting peace. However, in order for the United States to apply maximum pressure, Europe must take a clear position.
He also said that European guarantees would not be enough for Ukraine. The United States also needs them, as long as Kyiv is not in NATO.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk believes that peace talks over the war in Ukraine could begin this winter, and his country is seeking to play a leading role in ending the conflict.
