Orban’s Hungary is dependent on Russian energy, and that fact completely constrains his foreign policy. His visits to Kyiv and Moscow seem to be a sincerely motivated and constructive fact-finding mission to me. He’s like to find a magic way to end the war, but can’t.
The Ukrainian people and Mr. Putin have fundamental disagreements on the future of Ukraine. This war will be resolved by force of arms and/or when one side’s political will breaks.
Discussing negotiations when the passions are still so high is fruitless.
