Trump inquired about Orban's opinion on war in Ukraine: several calls were made

After winning the U.S. presidential election on November 5, Donald Trump had several phone conversations with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The topic of discussion was ending the war in Ukraine.

This was reported by the Hungarian service of Radio Liberty. According to sources, Trump sought Orban's opinion on ways to resolve the war in Ukraine.

The Hungarian prime minister is known for his friendly ties with Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin and his critical stance on EU assistance to Ukraine. Orban has repeatedly spoken out against EU sanctions against Moscow, which has caused outrage among European leaders.

In July, Orbán traveled to Kyiv with a ceasefire proposal, which he conveyed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He then visited Moscow, where he met with Putin. This visit was criticized by some EU members, who saw it as support for the Kremlin. In October, Orban also visited China and the United States, where he met with Trump, who was actively campaigning at the time.

According to Radio Liberty, Orbán is planning a new "peacekeeping mission" in December. Its details are not yet known, but it involves possible contacts with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Vladimir Putin, and Chinese President Xi Jinping. As part of this initiative, Orban is likely to convey a message from Trump.

Earlier, Zelensky said that under Trump's presidency, the war in Ukraine would "end faster." According to the president, he and Trump had a constructive interaction - Trump heard Kyiv's position and said nothing against it.

Media outlets have previously reported that Trump could surprise the world by signing a peace deal that would be beneficial to both Ukraine and Washington. He may prioritize economic benefits over geopolitical ambitions.

For its part, the Foreign Ministry emphasized that Trump's victory could be an important step toward peace and an additional chance to accelerate the peace process.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, Zelensky said Ukraine should be offered NATO membership, which may initially include the unoccupied territories. However, the invitation itself should be made within its internationally recognized borders.
