Orban made a cynical statement about Russia's war against Ukraine

Orban said this at an anti-war rally of digital public circles in Győr on the afternoon of November 15.

According to him, the warring parties do not want peace, and therefore external forces must convince Russians and Ukrainians to reconcile.

The European Union has the means to motivate Ukraine in this direction, because, according to him, Ukraine would not exist without EU support.

The problem, however, is that leading Western countries cannot find the means to convince the Russians, who want to occupy all of Ukraine, to make peace, Orban noted.

"Time is on the Russians' side," he said, adding that it would be good to make peace before the Russians occupy all of Ukraine.
