If Donald Trump wins the presidential election, there will be a ceasefire in Ukraine and peace talks between Russia and the United States will begin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
Viktor Orban noted that Europe should think about who and how will represent its interests.
“If he (Trump – ed.) wins, then at least there will be a ceasefire, whether it will lead to lasting peace – this is the music of the future, but as it is now, it will not be, that’s for sure. And that is why Europe needs to quickly prepare for the situation that sooner or later the Americans and Russians will start negotiations with each other,” Orban said in an interview with M1 TV channel.
The politician pointed out that Europe should ask itself questions “where its place is in this distribution”, “who represents its interests and what they are”.
“Hungary cannot answer that because our method of work as (EU – ed.) council presidency is not that we lead Europe or make decisions instead of Germany, France and Italy. What we can do – and this is the task of the current presidency – is to put proposals on the table. So we do not decide, but help the decision of twenty-seven prime ministers,” – said the Hungarian Prime Minister.
We shall remind you that earlier the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, proposed a Russian version of the “peace formula” in Ukraine. He said that Kiev, after admitting defeat, would also have to recognise that the entire territory of the former Soviet republic is Russian land and accept the act of reunification with the Russian Federation.
