At China's Diaoyutai palace complex, Orbán praised the host country and called Beijing “an important stabilizing force” in the world.
—China not only loves peace, but has also put forward a number of constructive and important initiatives, — he told Xi Jinping, Chinese state media reported.
It is noted that Xi highly appreciated Orban’s efforts and called on world powers to support Russia and Ukraine in restoring direct dialogue.
— A ceasefire can only be realized in the near future if all the great powers have a positive and not a negative influence, — said C.
Note that after the Russian attack on the Okhmatdyt hospital, the head of the Czech Foreign Ministry criticized “useful idiots”, who “dream” about peace with Russia. On social network X, politician wrote that while useful idiots are dreaming of peace with Putin, he is sending missiles to a children's hospital.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk also responded to Orban’s peace tour. He is convinced that no one has the right to decide on a peace settlement with Russia without Ukraine and negotiate European policy without EU approval.
After his visit to Ukraine, Viktor Orban arrived in Moscow on July 5, according to him, to continue the “peace mission”. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry then stated that Budapest made the decision on its prime minister’s trip to Moscow without agreement or coordination with Kiev.
