Orban pressures the EU to support UkraineThis is stated in Orbans letter dated March 1 to European Council President Antnio Costa, which ended up in the possession of journalist Szabolcs Pani.In Viktor Orbans letter to the President of the European Council, he stated strategic differences in policy towards Ukraine that cannot be resolved by amendments or communications.
I am convinced that the EU, following the example of the US, should enter into direct negotiations with Russia on a ceasefire and lasting peace in Ukraine.
This approach cannot be harmonized with what is reflected in the draft communiqu.
He continued that because of this, he proposes not even trying to adopt a joint written statement on Ukraine following the summit in its current form, and that this would show a split in the EU.
Instead, I propose to limit the written conclusions to a reference to and support for UN Security Council Resolution 2774 2025, adopted on February 24, 2025 this is a resolution introduced by the USA, which does not mention the aggression of the Russian Federation.
This resolution marks a new phase in the history of the conflict and makes all previously agreed formulations of the Council of Europe irrelevant.
Viktor OrbaPrime Minister of Hungary Orban previously supported US President Donald Trump after his argument with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House.
