Orban Declares Russia Has Won War in Ukraine Ahead of Trump-Putin Summit. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated that Russia has won the war in Ukraine, ahead of a planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Orban, in power since 2010, has faced criticism in Europe for his close ties to Russia and his opposition to military aid for Ukraine. He became the only EU leader not to endorse a joint statement affirming Ukraine’s freedom to determine its own future. In an interview with the 'Patriot' YouTube channel, Orban said the West will eventually have to acknowledge Russia’s victory and deal with its consequences. Hungary, reliant on Russian energy, has refused to supply weapons to Ukraine, and Orban opposes Ukraine’s EU membership, citing economic risks for Hungarian farmers and the broader economy. Orban criticized Europe for missing opportunities to negotiate directly with Putin under former President Biden and warned that countries excluded from talks risk having decisions made over their heads. He described the EU’s joint statement on Ukraine as making Europe look “ridiculous and pathetic” and urged restraint in reacting publicly when not part of negotiations.
