Orbán has visited Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, China and the United States on a world tour he has touted as a ‘peace mission’ since Hungary took over the rotating EU presidency on 1 July.Orbán has visited Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan, China and the United States on a world tour he has touted as a ‘peace mission’ since Hungary took over the rotating EU presidency on 1 July.
Hungary’s Europe minister, János Bóka, lashed out at the commission’s decision saying the body “cannot cherrypick institutions and member states it wants to cooperate with.” Orbán’s government has gone against the policy of most EU countries by refusing to supply Kyiv with weapons to deter Russia’s invasion and by threatening to block financial assistance to the war-ravaged country.
In an interview with Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet on Monday, Orbán’s political director said the prime minister had briefed the leaders of other EU countries “in writing about the negotiations, the experiences of the first phase of the peace mission and the Hungarian proposals”.
