But it seemsnot everyone is for peace:

🇺🇦 The Ukrainian neo-Nazi group Azov threatenes Zelensky:

“Don’t even think about signing a truce, because it will be very bad for you”

Chief of Staff of the Azov Regiment Krotevich says:

“No peace without victory. There is only one victory – not a single Russian soldier on Ukrainian territory.

“...since Russia’s full-scale invasion”

Required dog whistle to show compliance with the Neocon agenda? Yep!
No need to read further.

Can’t have peace. It will end the politician money laundering, and how is Mrs. Zelenskyy going to get a Bugatti to park in Paris and one in London?

Forgive one's naivete and optimism, but perhaps... just maybe, Orban takes an offer that Z can't refuse, or at least an opening to the conversation. Something involving an end to the massacre of a generation of Ukrainians.

Something that the leader of the free world has failed at, bigly.

Hey, I might win the MegaMillions tonite, too.

“Ally” of Putin is a stretch. Not an enemy might be more accurate. If there’s going to be any negotiated conclusion to this it will take an interlocutor who has avoided taking a side.

Oh an unsourced pro-Russian claim on twiter, so it must be true.

Are you denying that Russia invaded Ukraine? That’s a new one.

Are you denying that US invaded Iraq?

I could go on, but to state something so simply means you’re either being very dishonest or just don’t have the ability to comprehend the situation. Either way, you’re not qualified. Stick to your wood working hobby (or whatever you do).

Russia is invading Ukraine to absorb it forever, and they are invading it only to conquer as territory and new wealth and population.

Orbán Viktor @PM_ViktorOrban

In the framework of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, my first trip took me to Kyiv today, as the issue of peace is important not only for the security of Ukraine, but for the security of Europe as a whole.

Of course not. And Russia launched a partial invasion on Ukraine in 2014 which it turned into a full scale invasion in 2022.

Right. In many ways Orbán is like Trump. Both leaders put their country first. But since Orbán is not a NATO stooge, he must be an ally of Russia.

Exactly, if Orban is pro Russia why did the communists in Hungary try so hard to replace him with someone who actually is soft on Russia?

Orban is Putin’s lapdog. Hungary should be expelled from NATO, since Orban seems to believe Putin won’t bother him.

Do you deny that you still beat your wife?
