In a statement made late Sunday night (02.03.2025) on X (formerly Twitter), Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán criticized European leaders who met in London, stating they decided to prolong the war in Ukraine rather than pursue peace. Orbán emphasized Hungary’s commitment to peace and reiterated support for Russia and Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, at the London summit, described as a ‘coalition of the willing’ by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, there was a clear focus on ensuring Ukraine remains at the negotiation table with strong security guarantees and maintaining robust ties between Europe and the U.S.
