Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wants to discuss how to end Russia's war against Ukraine during a meeting with former US President Donald Trump. This was stated by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijarto in Bloomberg.


The publication points out that Orban is the Kremlin's closest ally in the European Union, and at the same time, he maintains warm relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.


"The prospect of a new Trump presidency has raised concerns among European leaders, including Ukraine's, about the EU's ability to respond to war and Russian influence," Bloomberg writes.


The Hungarian Foreign Minister said that Orban's meeting with Trump will also focus on bilateral relations between Hungary and the United States.


The article points out that Orban is trying to earn Trump's favor, viewing his return to the White House as a way to ease Hungary's diplomatic isolation after disputes with NATO and EU allies have brought pressure from the Joe Biden administration and a bipartisan group of US lawmakers.
