Last week, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. On Sunday, Orban told an interviewer that Trump explained his “quite detailed plans” to end the war Russia has waged on Ukraine. The plan is to cut off assistance to Ukraine and force it to surrender:
“He has a very clear vision that is hard to disagree with. He says the following: First, he will not give a single penny for the Russo-Ukrainian war. That’s why the war will end, because it’s obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet. If the Americans don’t give money and weapons along with the Europeans, the war will end. And if the Americans don’t give money, then the Europeans won’t be able to fund this war alone. And then the war will end.”
