The odious Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban was planning to visit Moscow. And this is just a few days after arriving in Kyiv.

Note that the last meeting between Orban and Putin was back in October 2023. Now, apparently, the Hungarian prime minister has decided to “talk” with the Russian dictator about the war in Ukraine.

Orban is going to go to Moscow

As VSquare and Direkt36 journalist Szabolcs Pani noted, the Hungarian Prime Minister will go to Moscow on July 5th. A few days ago, he was in Kyiv and talked with Vladimir Zelensky, offering to agree to terms favorable to the aggressor country for a ceasefire.

Moreover, according to the information released, Orban will not visit Russia alone. Most likely, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó, who was absent from Orban’s delegation in Kyiv, will also go to Moscow. Note that he is also known for his pro-Russian statements.

At the same time, the head of the press service of the Hungarian Prime Minister said that Orban will take part in the summit of the Organization of Turkic States in Azerbaijan, which will be held on July 5 and 6.

According to Hungarian media, such a meeting, like a visit to Kyiv, is preceded by long organizational work, so Orban could already have known that he would visit Putin this week when he negotiated with Zelensky. However, it is still unknown whether he told the Ukrainian president about his plans or not.

Orban answered whether he was going to Russia

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban answered a direct question. is he going to visit the capital of the aggressor state after visiting Kyiv.

At the same time, his answer did not add specifics.

Next step, next step. You should talk about it when it happened,” said the politician.

Thus, he did not confirm his visit to Moscow, but did not deny it either.

Recall that during his first visit to Kyiv during the full-scale war, Orban asked Zelensky for a “ceasefire” and the start of negotiations with Russia. He stated that our state must offer a truce and cease fire and thus move towards the search for peace.

By the way, the last time the Prime Minister of Hungary met with Putin was last October year in Beijing at the “One Belt, One Road” forum, where he came as the only politician of the European Union.

However, now everything has changed somewhat, since the other day Hungary officially began to chair in the Council of the European Union. That is, this means that Orban will meet with the Russian dictator as the head of the state presiding over the EU.
