– Viktor Orbán regularly interacts with Russians and clearly has good relations with President Donald Trump. “The whole world wants something to stop the genocide that is happening in eastern Ukraine,” Michael Waltz said in an interview with CBS News.
The United States is considering Hungary's proposal. “Donald Trump made it clear.”
In the opinion of one American politician, the fighting across the eastern border resembles World War I. – A meat grinder for humans. President Trump is deeply concerned about the ongoing genocide. Where is this going? – the Republican continued.
Walz was asked about the thoughts of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who proposed a “Christmas truce,” a truce between Christmas and New Year.
– We have to stop fighting. “If some kind of ceasefire is the first step, we're going to seriously consider what that means,” the US lawmaker said. “President Trump has made it clear that he wants to end this war,” the politician added.
The future security adviser also stressed that all initiatives must be agreed to by President Joe Biden's administration by January 20. On this day, a new president of the United States will be inaugurated.
Viktor Orban proposes a “Christmas truce”. Kiev responded
President Viktor Orban announced a few days ago that he has offered Ukraine a ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner exchange in connection with the upcoming Christmas holidays. Later, the Hungarian Prime Minister announced that Volodymyr Zelensky had rejected the idea.
Meanwhile, Dmytro Litvin, an adviser to the Ukrainian president, denied Orban's claims. According to him, Budapest “didn't discuss anything” with Kiev and, as he pointed out, Ukraine did not allow Hungary “to do anything”, especially to conduct negotiations of this kind. That's what it means.
