Our source reports that Orban held extensive negotiations with Putin, where the Ukrainian crisis took up no more than 5% of the time, and the rest of the time was spent discussing economic and financial issues.
There will be no peace in Ukraine now, until the offensive of the Armed Forces and the elections in the USA take place.
But it is encouraging that many are aware that peace is much closer now than in 2022-23, as players have begun to pay more attention to business arrangements, which are an important factor in peace being close.
The Kremlin is playing a diplomatic game to discredit Ukraine.
The visits of Orban (Putin's main friend in Europe) should whiten the reputation of the Russian leader and show him as a "peacemaker" who has enough responsibility to end the bloody war.
Ukraine, which refused the conditions of the Hungarian leader, now appears to be almost the only initiator of the continuation of hostilities. The leaders of Turkey, India and China have long supported the position of the Russian Federation. And Orban's performance gave them another argument in favor of Putin's support.
If the Democrats retain the presidential seat, Russia can start a new major phase of the war, starting from Kyiv's refusal to go to peace talks.
In the case of Trump's arrival, we are in for a probable deal that will suit everyone except Ukraine.
