Hungarian Prime Minister: With Trump and Merkel, the war in Ukraine would never begin

He estimates that Ukraine does not have the power to triumph, even with the great help of the West.

It is absolutely clear that war cannot be won this way. Ukraine will never win the fight against Russia with American staff weapons and training, it is very simple, as Russia's army has an assymmetric dominance”, Orban said.

He criticised European Union sanctions, stressing that they are weakening member states rather than Russia. Orban warned that this crisis, which is currently only economic, could soon become political with a domino effect on the collapse of governments, and cited the case of Britain, Italy, Bulgaria and Estonia. The Hungarian prime minister claims this war could have been avoided if the world had a little more luck.

If Donald Trump had been president of the United States and Angela Merkel Chancellor of Germany, this war would never have been launched. But we weren't lucky, so we're in this fight”, Orban said.

In the end, Orban said new agreements should be reached with the Russians, Chinese and American. The prime minister explained that it would have been much easier for him if he had negotiated with the republics than now with the ruling Democrats.
