Viktor Orbán, Europe’s most pro-Russian leader, met Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Friday on a rare trip to Russia that drew strong condemnation from other European leaders.
Orbán’s visit to Moscow came days after he made a similar unannounced trip to Kyiv, as the Hungarian prime minister attempts to position himself as a peace broker between Russia and Ukraine.
Shortly after landing in Russia for his first trip to the country since Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Orbán published a photo with the caption: “The peace mission continues. Second stop: Moscow.”
At the Kremlin, the two leaders held talks that a senior Moscow aide described as a “frank conversation” covering all issues related to Ukraine.
Speaking at a joint conference with Orbán afterwards, Putin signalled he was not ready to compromise on the maximalist demands he made of Ukraine last month.
Putin repeated his earlier ultimatum to end the war, demanding Kyiv cede more land, withdraw troops deeper inside its own territory and drop its Nato bid.
What does Mr. Orbán think of Mr. Putin’s new pro-Taliban position?
I was genuinely joking when I said in the other post that he probably got lost on the way to Moscow (meeting with Zelensky)… Well the joke was on me it me seems.
We got a rat!

make Russia the villain at every turn.
They attacked a sovereign country unprovoked as part of some world domination plan, they’re literally the villain
Their black-and-white “narrative” is that Russia should not have invaded a sovereign country. Which is, in fact, entirely black-and-white.
