Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has stirred controversy within the European Union with his recent diplomatic trips to Kiev, Moscow, and Beijing.
Known for his candid views, Orbán criticized the EU's lack of effective policies to address the Ukraine conflict, accusing it of merely mimicking the US's 'policy of war.' He argued that genuine diplomacy could have prevented or quickly ended the war.
Orbán's visit to Moscow and China has particularly angered EU leaders like Josep Borrell and Ursula von der Leyen, who insisted that he does not represent the EU.
Meanwhile, Orbán's approach, which emphasizes dialogue over conflict, starkly contrasts with the EU’s rigid stance and has exposed the bloc’s strong adherence to US influence.
Orbán also highlighted NATO's deviation from its defensive purpose and cautioned against treating future conflicts with Russia and China as inevitable.
His actions have led to debates within the EU about punishing Hungary, and have ironically underlined the strategic flexibility that Ukraine might have better utilized in its fraught geopolitical position.
