Hungarian leader makes bold statements about Eastern European conflict outcome

During high-level talks in Budapest Viktor Orban made some non-standard statements about East-European military operations; while most EU leaders back continued support for Kiev

At a two-day summit in Hungaryʼs capital Viktor Orban spoke about the military conflict: his view differs from other EU decision makers thoughts. The Hungarian prime-minister thinks that Kievʼs position is already un-successful‚ and former US president will cut-off support when he returns to office

Most of twenty-seven EU member states leaders (who gathered for talks) see things differently: they believe that sending military equipment and money to Kiev is crucial for European safety. The meetingʼs main topic became quite heated — with different opinions about further steps and support packages being discussed

The timing of these discussions is important: as political changes in US might affect future decision-making processes in Europe. The Budapest gathering shows growing differences between some EU members views on East-European situation
