at a certain level, hungary exchanges information with the eu and nato, so budapest has data to correctly assess the situation. therefore , the argument, or a kind of argument that budapest does not... weapons, because these weapons will bring the front line closer to hungary, does not make sense, it is more like an excuse. i thought so too. let's talk a little more about the relationship between hungary and the european union. the biggest question i have is why prime minister orbán is arguing so intensely with the eu leadership, what does he want to achieve with this? in hungary exist

problems are related to the rule of law, because of this, several billion euros of eu financial support for hungary have been frozen, so budapest does not have access to them. hungary's interest is to normalize relations with the european union, to solve problems related to the rule of law, and at the same time to ensure that the blocked eu funds begin to flow to hungary. this is what the new polish government immediately did, after which the european commission immediately reacted and began to direct previously suspended funds for of poland hungary clearly follows a different

approach, the highly confrontational policies pursued by orbán seem to serve almost exclusively domestic political interests. in the area of ​​rule of law, the european union requires hungary to dismantle some key institutional components of the orbán regime, control over mass media, suppression of civil society, influence on the judicial system and some others. without these changes , hungary will not have access to frozen eu assets. viktor orban needs to be elected between the security interests of his regime and the financial interests of the country, as they conflict with each other. as in every authoritarian system, he chooses the security interests of his own regime, because if orbán you...

fulfill the demands of the eu, it will mean that he himself will have to deconstruct the key elements of the regime that guarantee his own power. it is very unlikely that he will go for that, so instead he chooses open confrontation and tries to create a situation where in domestic politics for a domestic audience, he can try to present the whole history so that hungary does not receive eu money due to the fault of the eu. the hungarian government has less and less faith in the possibility of receiving this money from the european union. there is an opinion that this money is essentially lost. and

when they no longer hope to get this money back, they can afford to continue the confrontation because they have nothing left to lose. i am quite pessimistic about, unfortunately, i expect this confrontational relationship between orbán and the european union to continue and the hungarian presidency.

hungarians and prime minister orban always says that he is going to protect this minority and will do everything possible for this. what can he do to protect the minority and is he just talking... is it to push his political agenda, i'm afraid it's more the second, there have been several cases where hungarian foreign policy has actually harmed the interests of the hungarian minority living in ukraine, e.g. , military support, is one such case. hundreds of ukrainian citizens of hungarian origin live in ukraine, hundreds of them fight in the ukrainian army for freedom and sovereignty of ukraine. dozens of them have already died. the exact

number is classified, but it is quite large. so, there are ethnic hungarians who are actively fighting for ukraine. if hungary really... does anyone seriously think that if russia dominated ukraine, if there was a russian puppet government in ukraine, something like yanukovych number two, that would be good for the hungarian ethnic minority. does anyone seriously think that russia would not suppress all ethnic

minorities belonging to eu and nato countries? no one will say so, and yet budapest held on. from providing military aid, and more conditional issues, educational rights, in what was a key source of disagreements between ukraine and hungary, tensions have existed for 7-8 years, a question that, if anything, is difficult to answer, nevertheless, for several years from the hungarian and ukrainian the sides were not visible. the budapest government has shown no willingness to solve problems. thus, for several years , there was a stalemate in bilateral relations, which was also harmful for the ethnic hungarians of the transcarpathian region.

hopefully the recent meeting between president zelenskyi and prime minister viktor orban in kyiv will change something. had been planned for years, orban had been constantly invited by president zelenskyi for many years, and now the two leaders met in person. we hope that this will become a catalyst for the normalization of bilateral relations. recently, there have been certain gestures, both from the hungarian side and from the ukrainian side. when it comes to technical details about languages, education systems, educational rights, cultural rights and all these things. in the long run. i'm optimistic, still and because after this meeting, the head of zakarpattia oblast viktor mykyta announced that there is a plan to organize a ukrainian-hungarian business forum to discuss hungary's contribution to the recovery of ukraine and hungarian investments.

and when money is on the table, it usually has a dampening effect on the discussion. when we talk about the economy, when we talk about money, it's always more rational. thing than when dealing with more symbolic political issues. despite the fact that orban's visit to moscow obviously came as a surprise to kyiv, the ukrainian reaction was very restrained, moderate, wise and not escalating at all. this is again some indication that there is a chance for the relationship to improve, despite the fact that several years have been lost. hopefully the future will look a little better. and one more. the meeting between zelenskyi and orban was organized literally in 5 days. organizing a meeting of such a high level, in such a short time, is possible only when both parties really want it to take place. in this case, both parties really wanted to the meeting took place, and this is again a good sign that ukraine and hungary are now

ready to overcome some difficult issues and move forward. the question for you, mr. rads, will be about what i would call the orbán- trump tandem. prime minister of hungary. viktor orbán constantly praises the potential future president of the united states, donald trump, and donald trump speaks well of orbán. two weeks ago, during his visit to the nato summit in washington, orbán even visited florida and met with donald trump in maralago how dangerous can this tandem be if donald trump wins the election in november.

it's something like one sided love or something, i'm not very good on soap bars but i'm sure we can find a name. it is interesting that hungarian diplomacy 100% supported donald trump. hungary's ambassador to washington, sábolcs takacs, said that budapest has no plans to. he took on... the commitment to support trump.

if it is not trump who wins, then ukraine does not count on any good relations with her by the united states. for small countries, the usual strategy is to have good relations with both parties. even for medium-sized countries, medium-sized states like ukraine, ukrainian diplomacy in washington is headed by an ambassador. this is a classic strategy of how countries approach the current presidential race, you have good relations with both sides, and you delegate very trained professional diplomats as ambassadors, such as ambassador markarov from the ukrainian side or ambassador takacs from the hungarian side. however, hungary is fully supporting the republicans this time,

which is very unusual. budapest won't get much if trump wins, don't overestimate hungary's importance to trump. in addition, hungary's close relationship with china will be a problem for the incoming trump administration. i consider it a serious problem. even hungary's close relations with russia will not necessarily be beneficial. so, even if... trump wins, even if the hungarian bid wins, i'm not sure that it can bring any strategic benefits to hungary. in the meantime, if you get out of the race democratic president, hungarian-american relations will deteriorate even more. of course, i said this would be the last question, but if you don't mind, i'll ask one more: how strong is viktor orbán's position in hungary? and how long is he going to remain the prime minister of this country?

at least until 2026 the next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2026, if mr. orbán is healthy and continues to work as prime minister, there is no scenario in which he could lose his power before 2026. what will happen in 2026, well before the parliamentary elections? still very far. thank you very much mr. ratz for joining us today and thank you very much for your answers, i really appreciate it. it was andra shratz, a hungarian security analyst, an expert of the german council on international relations, and also a lecturer at corvina university. they talked to him about serious issues, in particular about hungary, about its leader viktor orban, as well as about such... tender hungarian-ukrainian relations relationship, so what next? the conversation was interesting, the answers were interesting, i

opportunities to provide us with at least some information about them. so. in kherson, when it was still occupied by the russians, this girl disappeared, her name is amanda, she is 16 years old. unfortunately, it was not possible to find the girl after the de-occupation of kherson. there is no news from her since october 24, 2023. of course, it is possible that the occupiers could forcefully take the child to russia, but it is also possible that the girl and her parents were forced to leave for one of the... european countries. so if you live in europe right now and you see this video, take a look carefully into amanda's face. report any information you know to 11630. 11630 is the only european missing children hotline available in 28 european countries. and this is artem

berezh. date of birth - august 3, 2008. before the war, the boy lived in the village. vashchivka is the heniche district of the kherson region, but since february 24, 2022, the connection with it has been cut off. since then , nothing is known about the fate of artem. we do not know where and with whom the boy is now, but we really hope that he is alive and that everything is with him fine. so please let us know any, even the smallest, information about artem. if you know anything about him, call the magnolia children's tracing hotline. our number is 116-30. calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. if you are in the occupied territory and... you do not have the opportunity to call, you can contact us by writing on facebook or instagram, or on the chatbot of the child search service in telegram. also, 14-year-old

vlad sokolov disappeared in the kherson region. we know that he lived before the war in the village of gornostaivka. now this village is occupied and therefore the process of finding a guy is very complicated. because of this , it is not known exactly when and under what circumstances. the boy disappeared, but the official date of his disappearance is january 19, 2023. unfortunately, there is no more information. therefore, we hope for your attention and care. if you recognize 14-year-old vlad sokolov, or know of his possible whereabouts, do not delay and call the magnolia children's search service hotline at the short number 11630. calls from everyone. mobile operators in ukraine is free. in general, after the full-scale invasion, we received a lot of missing persons, and the vast

influential to take offense at it, or to ignore it. the visit of a ukrainian official at this level is the first in many years, and it is good, it is a clear signal that china supports territorial integrity and sovereignty. of ukraine, and it was also confirmed what chinese leader xi jinping had told me that china would not supply weapons to russia. to goanjo dmytro kuleba was invited by the foreign minister there, wang yi, the second person in the chinese hierarchy after xi jinping. the conversation lasted for more than three hours, kenr continues to call russian aggression a ukrainian crisis, but in... expressed readiness to help achieve peace, namely peace, not a truce, dmytro kuleba emphasized. i spoke about the importance of a just

peace, not just any peace, and my chinese colleague himself added that a just and lasting peace is very important, because usually we are the ones who keep saying that there should be peace stable, that is, long and fair. but what does a just peace mean for... china. the cause of the war is officially named by pakin as the expansion of nato to the east. his peace proposals essentially equate the victim and the aggressor. china is not going to give up its strategic partnership with russia, but china is not the only country that has real influence on the kremlin. and that is why ukraine and the west would like to see others at the second peace summit, preparations for which are already underway. without russian. will not make sense if the russians lead them, as they did before, by pushing terms of surrender, but without russia and china at the table, there really will be no peace talks,

china could play the role of a big... player, which it certainly is in the economy, in finance, but maybe not in the policy of forcing peace. china's position as a potential mediator is further strengthened against the background of the dramatic and unpredictable american election, which weakens the united states and frightens its allies. president joseph biden's refusal to bog down, while encouraging democrats, further confused the outlook american support to ukraine. from one on the side of vice president kamala harris. it is expected that in the event of her victory, the white house will generally continue the current course with regard to ukraine. but haris herself is a person without experience in international affairs and will probably rely entirely on her advisers. andriy yermak, the head of the president's office, has already had a telephone conversation with one of the key diplomats, philip gordon. according to the

wall street journal in the administration. it is unlikely that there will be a place for the main appointees of president biden, in particular the secretary of state anthony blinken, defense secretary lloyd austin and national security adviser jake sullivan. so will the level of support be at least the same as under president biden, who had a special attitude towards ukraine? unanswered questions. on the other hand, donald trump. he promises to end the war in 24 hours, and... reveals that he has his own peace plan. the publication politico previously reported that his team is apparently seriously considering the option of the agreement with the kremlin, which provides for territorial concessions to ukraine and its refusal to join nato. after meeting with trump on the sidelines of the republican party convention, ex-prime minister of britain boris johnson published in the tabloid newspaper, the daily mail, his version of the peace

plan, there about increasing the military. support for ukraine, intentions to push russia to the borders on february 24, and measures to protect the rights of russian speakers in ukraine to help putin save face. finally , the us secretary of state in the trump administration, mike pompeo, and david urban, the head of a lobbying company close to the republicans, presented their version. they claim the way to peace lies through strength, which means. "we need to increase military support for ukraine, lift all bans on strikes deep into russia, lower world oil prices in order to weaken the russian economy and, ultimately, accept ukraine into nato. which of these plans is really trump's plan? it is unlikely that even trump himself knows this today , he is an impulsive and unpredictable person, which means that his victory will create both new opportunities and great risks for ukraine. president

zelensky called me, we had a good talk, and i said that we should finish this war you are dealing with the russian war machine, all they do is wage war. they defeated hitler, they defeated napoleon. the spring offensive never happened. the russians have millions of shells and thousands of tanks. many russians were killed, but many ukrainians were also killed. this should not have happened. are ukrainians themselves ready for possible negotiations? a survey conducted by the razumkov center in june, commissioned by the publication dzerkalo tyzhnia, showed that 44% of ukrainians believe that during the peace talks, the time has come to while 35% do not agree with this opinion, but this is the opinion of the rear, what the front thinks, sociologists do not know, the defense forces continue to make incredible efforts to restrain the enemy

in order ... so that ukraine, if the time for negotiations really comes, will be in the strongest possible position positions 18:00 in ukraine, for your attention news release on the espresso tv channel. in the studio of iryna koval. greetings to all viewers. dmytro lubinets reacted to the news about the death of oleksandr ishchenko from azov. the ombudsman appealed to the commissioner for human rights in the russian federation for elucidation of the circumstances in the tragic death of a prisoner of war. and
