Orban Urges Ceasefire on Surprise Visit to Ukraine

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban visited Ukraine on Tuesday, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During their talks, Orban suggested a speedy ceasefire could expedite peace talks, aiming to improve Hungary's ties with Ukraine and offer economic modernization assistance. However, it is worth noting that Orban has previously blocked or weakened European efforts to provide Ukraine with security assistance throughout the war, and has also urged Zelenskyy to consider a ceasefire instead of military support for Ukraine.
