Today, on November 7, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán visited Washington and met with US President Donald Trump. While talking to journalists, Trump asked whether Orbán believes that Ukraine will win the war. The Hungarian leader replied that "a miracle can happen," which made the American president smile.
This is stated in the broadcast of the joint press conference.
"I think Viktor feels that the war will end in the near future," Trump said.
To which Orbán replied that he was deeply convinced of this. And, according to him, the question is whether the Western partners are united.
"The problem is that the president (of the United States, Donald Trump - ed.) is making huge peace efforts, which are simply wonderful and very positive for the European continent and all the people of Europe. But at the same time, we are not united, because Brussels (the de facto capital of the European Union - ed.) and Europeans have different attitudes towards war. So the only governments that are in favor of peace are the US government and the little Hungary in Europe. All the other governments prefer to continue the war because many of them believe that Ukraine can win on the front, which is a wrong understanding of the situation," he said.
At the Hungarian prime minister's last words, Trump smiled and asked him a question: "So you think Ukraine can't win this war?"
"You know, a miracle can happen," he replied.
"Yes, that's true," Trump said with a smile.
Orban's words also made US Vice President J.D. Vance smile.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that Budapest is ready to host a summit with the participation of the leaders of the United States and russia any day. However, it is necessary to resolve "residual issues."
Meanwhile, on November 1, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán asked US President Donald Trump to ease sanctions against russian oil, but was refused.
