According to Viktor Orban, “it will be a tough and lengthy set of negotiations, but for now, the focus should be on achieving a ceasefire” in Ukraine.
Russia has become stronger during the Ukrainian conflict, while Kiev has weakened, as Europe lacks the funds to support it, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview on the morning program of Kossuth Radio.
He expressed hope that the conflict in Ukraine would eventually come to an end. Orban believes that once the crisis is over, it will be necessary to discuss the creation of a revised security system in Europe. “When this war is over, one way or another, we will have to settle the European security environment,” the prime minister added.
According to him, “the negotiations will be difficult and prolonged, but for now, the priority should be securing a ceasefire” in Ukraine.
“We must contemplate the reorganization of Europe, which would ensure the safety of European nations, as well as define America’s role in Europe’s security framework,” the head of government specified. He believes that “this is a goal for the next one to two years.”
Orban reminded that the United States, as the dominant NATO power, plays an essential role in Europe’s security structure.
