Hungary’s Prime Minister Expects a U.S. Withdrawal from Ukraine when Trump Returns to Power
Viktor Orbán’s Prediction
Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, predicts the U.S. will withdraw from Ukraine under a second-term President Donald Trump. He stated, “The Americans will quit this war” and warned of Ukraine’s military defeat.
Orbán and Trump’s Close Ties
Orbán and Trump share a long history of mutual admiration. Trump has called Orbán his “friend” and praised his world affairs knowledge. The two leaders bond over their similar stances, especially on Russia. Orbán has been a vocal ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, often opposing the EU’s stance on Ukraine.
Trump’s Potential Plans for Ukraine
Orbán’s prediction follows reports of Trump’s advisors drafting plans to end the war. One plan suggests a 800-mile demilitarized zone and Ukraine’s pledge to stay out of NATO for 20 years. Another plan involves withholding weapons unless Ukraine agrees to peace talks with Russia. Trump has not confirmed any specific strategy yet.
Orbán recently advocated for Europe to define what victory for Ukraine would look like. He also continues to promote peace talks, holding meetings with world leaders as part of a “peace mission” tour. Orbán hopes to create a ceasefire to fast-track peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
U.S. and EU Divisions on Ukraine
Orbán’s views contrast sharply with those of other European leaders who support Ukraine’s fight against Russia. The EU remains committed to supporting Ukraine with military and financial aid. Orbán, however, believes Ukraine faces inevitable defeat. This divide underscores the uncertainty surrounding Europe’s role in the conflict if Trump returns to power.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy quickly congratulated Trump on his victory. He emphasized that U.S. leadership is crucial for global peace and a fair resolution in Ukraine. Orbán’s prediction suggests that both U.S. and European strategies may shift dramatically in the coming years, reshaping the future of the war.
