Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has released a video summarizing his visit to Russia. The video, titled "Peacekeeping Mission. Second Stop: Moscow," was published on social media. It starts with footage taken aboard the plane, showing Orbán conversing with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szíjjártó. The video then shows the motorcade driving through the streets of the Russian capital. It is worth noting that the Hungarian Prime Minister traveled in an Aurus during his visit. The video also includes scenes from the Kremlin, showing Orbán's negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a briefing on the outcomes of their meeting.
Orbán announced that he plans to have several "unexpected" meetings similar to the one with Putin. Szíjjártó advised European Union politicians who criticize Orbán's peace initiative to "fasten their seatbelts".
Russian media outlets have reported that Orbán has already traveled to a new destination after his meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin. The 2.5-hour talks between Putin and Orbán took place in the Kremlin on July 5th. The Hungarian Prime Minister did not announce his visit in advance, and even his European colleagues were unaware of his plans.
The European Union is in desperate need of a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. Orbán met with Volodymyr Zelensky and proposed that he consider declaring a ceasefire before negotiations with Russia.
