first of all, the danger of orbán becoming the president of the council is zero.he reason is that the vast majority of member states, practically all except hungary, or possibly all except hungary. and slovaks are currently united in the goal of electing someone else. well, this someone else is quite likely will later take up this position fully and permanently, but for this it will be necessary that the european elections have already taken place, and according to the procedures exactly after the european elections, this should happen in the fall , in the post-election period, that is, in the fall of 2024, new leaders should be elected of european institutions, candidate? they do not say yet, but they say that they will elect a unequivocally pro-european and pro-ukrainian politician, the vice-president of the globsec analytical center suggested to us that one of these candidates for the post of president of the european for example, kaya kallas, the estonian prime minister, who was also a member of the european parliament and a member of the "friends of ukraine"

orban wants to, and hesitates, so to speak, but there was a meeting in uzhgorod, in the orban triangleorry, sijarto, sijarto, kuleba and yermak, respectively, took a break for a few days to 10 days, and after that they will to offer a more specific road map, yes, well, it is said, in particular, about the meeting between viktor orban and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi. so, this one, let's consider the case. i personally think that there is no serious potential for improving relations between ukraine and hungary, because the problem of our relations lies deeper than some specific, situational stories, for example, with poland and with farmers, there is some competition in the agrarian sphere, okay, such and such moment, which can be settled, and from our... well, let's just say such problems , there were no default claims against hungary, but what we see from hungary's side, the first thing is that they still have these revanchist and revisionist attitudes since the first world war remained, they they tried to implement them during the second world war, acting as allies of

orban and mr. ukraine and hungary, to which szijártó answered unequivocally that until this meeting very, very far, because very , very much needs to be done for this, er, i spoke about the fact that in order for this meeting to take place at the highest level, er... it is necessary for ukrainian-hungarian relations to acquire a new dimension. what is this new dimension? for his i imagine a new dimension, that ukraine fulfills all 11 demands, what are these demands, if possible, let's now detail for our tv viewers: 11 friends of orban, so to speak, so er... and that here in this this is this is the first the package of demands, i.e. these 11 demands, it concerns exclusively, as they call it, the rights of the hungarian national minority in transcarpathia, i believe that it is not worth the hole from baglyk, many of them have already been fulfilled, but in sijarto said that no, we need return to ukraine. until 2015 and unceasingly fulfill all those that were then, i.e the so-called notorious kolesny

orbán that he is trying to follow ... er, let's say, to extend his stay in power? of course, he wants to rule like this forever, wants to be such an eternal dictator, and he is basically only interested in money, money, and nothing else. a book about the strategy of hungary, one, was recently published from political figures, balaž orban, this is viktor orban's political director, not a relative, simply. common nicknames, so they simply cynically stated that the hungarian government today is absolutely not interested in anything, apart from its calculations, and in general, in international law , the one who is stronger is always right, and everything else is a delusion, forgive me, that is it's about... you know, hungary's leadership returned to such a pre -westval world of europe, that is, until the 10th of 648, i think you understand what i 'm talking about, they advised ukrainian officials, who meet with the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, by the way, a knight of the russian order of friendship, there is no truth, children. well, of course, of course, w

, and they are cheap serf labor for orban and an electoral force.r hungary today, there is a very huge problem, the lack of labor resources, there are people here who speak exclusively the hungarian language, and today the biggest problem of the hungarian community in transcarpathia is the lack of integration into ukrainian society due to the fact that a large part, especially the youth, we we have, the lost generation does not speak the ukrainian language, their only way out is simply to be in hungary with cheap labor on very low... cables of society, and you know that the hungarian community in zakarpattia 20 years ago had 154 thousand people, today their number has fallen to less than 50,000, and this is not the reason for the war, but before the war, a large part of them, due to the fact that they do not speak the ukrainian language, were forced to move to hungary and there... well, few people really talk about it in ukrainian society, but the picture is like this today. tibor, this means that this is politics the government of hungary, well, th

first of all, the danger of orbán becoming the president of the council is zero. reason is that... the vast majority of member states, almost all except hungary, or perhaps all but hungary and slovakia are at the moment united to elect someone else. the probability of the transfer of power to orbán is extremely low, and everyone understands this , the public would not understand this, if viktor orbán suddenly appeared in front of the tv cameras and started speaking on behalf of the eu, people would be rightly confused about what the hell is going on. the other candidate, who will be appointed for six months in the coming months, will most likely occupy this position full-time later, but for this it is necessary that the european elections be held first. according to with procedures, precisely after the european elections, in the fall of 2024 , new heads of european institutions should be elected. the candidates have not yet been named, but they say that they will choose a unequivocally pro-european and pro-ukrainian politician, because this is what the majority of

orban and fico are now friends of ukraine. why is this warming in relations, or is it still too early to talk about it at the moment? it is early, they are not friends, neighbors yet, and these are member countries of two alliances, where we are very much we want to join, so... you know , some like it, some don't like it, orban, fitso, or their teams, peter sijarto, for example, and the one with whom there will be a meeting on january 29, these are the people with whom we will have to negotiate, eh -uh, and it will be very difficult, uh, they are similar , by the way, in style, such european populists, and you said that robert fizo changed his mind there, or there is warming, in fact, no one changed his mind, and warming is it's relative, it's tactical, you have to... understand that these are politicians who, you know, are such masters of this double language, when they can almost say mutually contradictory things in more than one sentence paragraph, say simply contradictory things, and also say there with an interval of a da

olezh, orban and hungary are ukraine's problem, or is it? the problem of the european union?roblem of the european union and ukraine. which aspires to be a member of the european union, but there is no question of any restoration of the atmosphere of trust, because both siarto and orbán are, well, this has long been proven by time, well, if not hooligans, then putin's cronies, they, they are not stupid people , they are perfectly informed, but they can never be taken to the camp of friends of ukraine and count on the fact that... maybe there is some commission there, some 10 points, 11 points, but that is not the question, it reminds me very much of the situation in to the american congress, when there seems to be it is about the need to find a compromise, and then trump steps in and says that nothing can be done, i will come, become the president, i will decide everything, this is orban's situation, orban will want to play the ukrainian card in the future, and this is not the solution commission of bilateral issues forces orbán to be lenient. because he , he, he, he, he, he,

olezh, orban and hungary - is this a problem of ukraine or is it a problem of the european union? of the european union , and of ukraine, which aspires to be a member of the european union, but there is no question of any restoration of the atmosphere of trust, because both siarto and orban are, well, this has long been tested by time, well, if not idlers, then posipaks putin, they, they are not stupid people. they are perfectly informed, but they can never be to take the friends of ukraine to the camp and count on the fact that it is possible to have some kind of commission there, some 10 points, 11 points, but that is not the question, it reminds me very much of the situation in the american congress, when it seems to be talking about what should to find a compromise, and then trump steps in and says that nothing can be done, i will come, become the president, i will decide everything, this is orban's situation, orban for... wants to play the ukrainian card in the future, and not the resolution of bilateral issues by this commission forces orbán to be condescending because he, h

offers real mechanisms of influence and pressure on orbán.y, precisely based on the results of yesterday's debate , a resolution was prepared, today it is put to the vote on the agenda, and somewhere around lunch time , voting will take place in kyiv. so what do the european deputies propose? first of all, apply the procedure of article seven paragraph to hungary and to orbán. two treaties on the establishment of the european union, which, which, can ultimately deprive orbán of the right to vote in the european council, that is, he simply will not be able to veto the decisions of the european council, including for ukraine. this is one proposal of the european deputies contained in the resolution, but actually, everything is exactly the final final word according to the leaders of the states and the european council, and the second important point, which is not talked about much in ukraine now, pays little attention, but the european parliament plans to challenge the unfreezing of funds for hungary by the european commission, and it is about

and you can detail what this demand of viktor orban means. to review aid every year, this means that ukraine will not immediately receive 50 billion or guarantees for 50 billion, how will this affect ukraine itself? no, well, first of all, we are not talking about immediately receiving all 50 billion as of the day after tomorrow, after the vote, this is even technically it is impossible, it is clear to everyone who understands something about money, but orbán wants every year... to have a political decision, that is, if a political decision was made today about 50 billion, then the european commission could, according to the needs , according to the prioritization common with us, allocate this money, and could have flexibility when more money is needed, when it is necessary, for example, to close certain bridges with problems, with american help, because... there in the congress, the discussions are still continuing, that , which actually offers orban means putting hooks in the form of political decisions every year, but the situation changes, it doesn't matter how it changes, but we

, and the player around orbán is completely different , we understand this very well, the fact that aain, certain contact begins, whether he will also be human, somehow , we will see, but nevertheless, it is a contact between. .. by officials who can determine, and what and how to do in ukrainian-hungarian relations, whether it will be possible to restart them there or change the emotion around them, i am rather skeptical about this, but nevertheless, change such an emotional color and start talking about some issues that are for us. are jointly important, of course , and it is not only transcarpathia at all, it is more likely the european dimension, it is the aid that hungary has the opportunity to block, it is the process of joining the eu, where hungary can put sticks in the wheels every couple of weeks, and in the end, orbán plays in a big game, he believes that he is... the leader of a conservative, right-wing europe, now there will be european elections, the right-wing is on the rise in europe in general, these are very different right-wings, some of them are pro-putin, some are

orbán's voters, who see it as a fight for hungary's national interests.hat might appear to some as bad behavior, the fact that the hungarian government is blackmailing the european commission , in the eyes of the voters of the fidesz party in hungary , on the contrary, looks like a struggle for freedom, as the attempts of the hungarian national government to assert hungarian national interests and not succumb to external pressure. this is mostly domestic rhetoric aimed at convincing hungarian voters that they have a strong government, not one that is forced to fight for its survival and hide its actions in the field of economy and domestic politics. they want to show that hungary finally has a government that approves of it. national interests, knowing how the eu operates, and i have been researching this topic for decades, there will always be some kind of peaceful solution, some kind of compromise, behind the scenes it is always possible to come to an agreement, so by the time the leaders of the countries go to the press, such a compromise is usually al

orban is under pressure in the eu. maneuvering with his very last strength and even agrees to some kind of compromise, as he said, solution, for which his country is still ready to lift the veto on the allocation of 50 billion euros for ukraine, that is , orban is asking for money primarily for himself , for hungary. he asks, as a true democrat, he reminded that in exactly 5 months there will be elections in europe, to make decisions that bind europe for as much as 4 years. 50 billion. this is for 4 years for ukraine, it requires huge sums for the war with putin, he doesn’t want it, they say they will allocate money. barely ursula, let’s say, leaves, but no one will ask the opinion of the peoples of europe. myself. orban, after all, every year this decision will give orban the right to veto, but in budapest they stubbornly resisted. the leaders of the european union countries will try to accept an aid package for kiev in the amount of 50 billion euros until 2027. at this meeting. will gather in brussels for an extra re

this is also an important point that weakened orbán. general , it is clear that hungary, an important neighbor of ukraine, has not had an ambassador of ukraine in hungary for more than a year and a half. fedoro shandru, this professor from the trenches, they still cannot appoint him normally as an ambassador, what he started, but in general hungary is very important for ukraine, due to the fact that after all, if, if not how, and this is a member of the european union and... nato, hungary did not block orban, did not block the start of negotiations with ukraine in the european union, on eu membership, in december of this year at the summit, when i went out for coffee, but in principle hungary is leading, i do not believe that hungary will become a great friend of ukraine, but to have a normal one, i understand correctly, rosyslav, thank you for joining , unfortunately, we have to finish, rostyslav khotin , columnist of radio svoboda, joined our broadcast, thank you. such was this issue of svoboda morning, my name is kateryna nekrecha, i

hungarian prime minister viktor orban.t from july to december 2024, hungary will preside over the council of the european union. according to the rules, all eu member states chair the council of the european union in turn, and in the absence of a permanent president of the european council , this position passes to the state that actually chairs the council during this rotation period. so, if a candidate to replace charles michel is not found quickly, it is not excluded that the prime minister of hungary. orbán, albeit temporarily, will perform the same functions that the president of the council usually performs. this may give hungarian prime minister viktor orbán greater influence in the eu, the financial times notes. viktor orbán, let me remind you, actively uses anti-western rhetoric, despite the fact that hungary is a member of the european union, meets with putin despite russian aggression against ukraine. and at the summit of the european union, i will remind you, he vetoed the a quadruple package of financial assis

, it is not really about orbán and not even about the european union orbán, the story about, it is ain's policy of splitting the european union in very different directions, and therefore orban will play this ... putin's group as long as putin will be around, roughly speaking, well, putin can be forever, first of all, well, he can't be forever, let's not exaggerate, well, how can lenin lie in the grave and only his name will be scrolled there t can always be putin will be 30 there in the 80s, now putin will always be as young as lenin, but this virtual reality has long been described by the same moscow muscovites about the collective putin on television that exists. he wrote long before the invasion, so in this case i am not talking about the miracles of medicine that can keep this dictator, during that time in europe two or three will have passed about computer technologies that will generate an image, wait, they already at these press conferences, the latter generated the image of putin and showed everyone that if suddenly this who is sitting here in the hall will bend, so we have,

i completely agree with this statement, it is obvious that the heart of fitz and orban may be in moscow their atms are somehow in brussels, so of course they pay attention to... financial issues, but it also seems to me that orbán was motivated not only by money, but also, you know, as they say, tough the response of the european union, because in fact orbán resorted to blackmail, it was frank blackmail and frank attempts to get some additional benefits, additional advantages for hungary, whether it was access to additional funds or advantages of a different kind, for each of his decisions, and so on european the union realized that it is necessary to treat here as with any blackmailer, as soon as you pay once, the blackmailer's interest increases and he will want to get his money again and again, and therefore the european union decided to go the other way and fight back against this blackmail. in this case , talk intensified that hungary may be deprived of the right to vote in the euu, according to article seven of the eu treaty, and in fact, the movement in this regard is based on th

and his. or the anti -ukrainian regime, it is said that orban, firstly, may be forced to return theillion euros that the european commission gave him in december, these are unfrozen eu funds, and also in the longer term, orban may be deprived of the right to vote in the european soyuz, this is the resolution, a little more detail about the first part, it is about the fact that... orban can force to return the money, so the european parliament condemns the actions of the prime minister of hungary, which violate fundamental european values, and in particular his decision to block the expansion of the eu budget and the allocation of a financial package for ukraine, that is, the blocked 50 billion euros that orpan bequeathed during the summit of the european council in december 2013, also... the parliament expresses regret over the european commission's decision to unfreeze 10.2 billion euros from frozen eu funds for hungary, which, as we remember, happened literally in a day to the summit, and european deputies rightly believe that the european commission thus bribed orban and actually

, what orbán offers, orbán offers , so that this package was created outside the budget of the european, why he wants to create, this is his condition to support this package, because in principle, if it will be created within the budget of the european union, there is legislation, there is management of it. budget, and in principle, since the eu members approve the expansion of this budget there, all management is already in the hands of the european commission, if it is created outside the framework of the european budget, then in principle there is a possible interference in the management of the members of the european union during the implementation of this package , and orbán wants it, he wants it not to be for four years, and for it to be for year, and that there was a report... at the end of each year and that there was an approval and so on. orban is his conditions, as he formulated at this press conference with fico. well, fitzo said that he likes these arguments. so let's go, he, they are not against, and orban is not against, the adoption of this package for ukraine, only he

to discuss possible. meeting of president volodymyr zelenskyi with prime minister of hungary viktor orban. the armed forces are expanding the bridgeheads on the left bank, the head of the united coordination press center of the defense forces of the south nataliya khomenyuk said. during the past day, the enemy made eight assaults, but all were unsuccessful. the occupiers returned to their positions with casualties. 105 withdrawals have been confirmed. tiv in this direction, we also have results in the destruction of enemy equipment, in particular, these are artillery installations from which they shell the right bank, and such losses led to the fact that we observe a certain activity in the crimean direction, where teams are formed, apparently to strengthen those units that are on... the shore. lost again. russian planes lost two aerial bombs over the belgorod region. both did not break. the first fab-250 bomb was found in the postnikov farm in the korochan district. and the second projectile was discovered on one of the streets in the village of striletske, bilhorod district. more than f

, it's not really about orbán and not even about orbán's european union, the story is about, it's a storyputin's politics. the circle of the european union in very different directions, and that's why orban will play this putin game as long as putin is around, roughly speaking, putin can be forever, lenin can lie in the grave and only in his name they will scroll there , it can always be putin until 3 there in the 1980s , putin will always be as young as this virtual lenin. reality has long been described by the same moscow muscovites, as pilevin wrote about the collective putin on tv, which exists long before the invasion, so in this case i am not talking about the miracles of medicine that can keep this dictator, during that time in europe two , three about computer technologies that will generate an image, wait, they last generated an image of putin at this press conference and showed everyone that if suddenly...

, like orban, they will bypass him, they will be made various mechanisms to bypass hungary's veto.ink this will be the case in nato as well as in the european union. mr. marik, we would like to discuss defense cooperation between ukraine and poland with you. donald tusk, while in kyiv, naked. about the fact that there will be a defense aid package from poland, joint production of weapons, increasing our capabilities in using polish equipment and weapons systems, and actually it was also about the fact that poland joined the g7 declaration on security guarantees for ukraine, we would like to you will discuss it in more detail, which in general, there may be a potential for defense cooperation, which, in your opinion, poland could still supply to ukraine, for example from its own, right? weapons are already available, which ukrainian and polish plants do you think can actually have this close cooperation in the defense sector, and actually, regarding security guarantees and this g7 declaration, is there anything more about this already being said in the polish media, in particular? l

orbán is absolutely not in the mood, so to speak, to accept these arguments from brussels, let alonet something in his domestic policy, it is clear, in order not to, well, give up better than it actually is, well, it's perfect for that. the option is simply to show that someone has it even worse, yes, and this article in fact, it just emphasizes what type, well, why did the european union pick on hungary with freedom of speech, yes, let them get away from us, let them do their new thing a candidate for members of ukraine, because it is allegedly still worse there than in hungary, but the hungarians in hungary are better there against the background of this, so let's see if you can unlock some money for us a little bit, that is, i actually wrote this publication i perceive it as such . in orban's context, it's in his style, well, not to do any of those recommendations, of those demands that the european union puts before him regarding freedom of speech, human rights, the judicial process inside the country, but to demand money from the european union in return and make excuses , that

last december , orban and vonderen carried out a special operation called drinking coffee.an commission was discussing ukraine's membership in the eu, viktor orban, who was against it, left the room. 11 billion for leaving the room. maybe you are going to repeat this, because orban can again use his veto on the allocation of 50 billion euros, which ukraine so badly needs. if this happens, you will have problems here in parliament. anti-vivid hysteria is being fanned in the european parliament just on the eve of the eu summit, which will be held on february 1, at which an aid package for ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros will be discussed. orban is desperately bargaining on this matter, saying that the package should be allocated. technically shifts responsibility for ukraine to its european partners. the day before, in washington, joe biden held a closed meeting with congressional leaders, trying to convince speaker mike johnson to soften his position on ukraine. we are talking about a package of $106 billion for ukraine, israel and taiwan. most of the funds are int

zanone, well , we understand what is coming. the shadow of hungarian prime minister viktor orbán overhe 24th year he can lead. the european council, and this can create considerable complications for ukraine. well, so far we have heard, we have not yet been able to verify, that at least viktor orbán will not block the provision of macro-finance to us, but he insists on, so to speak, the receipt in parts, that is, to approve each year the another economic plan. actually, we would like to ask you about the potential influence and authority of orbán on what is called. this is a macro-fin for ukraine, and on the other hand, how seriously is european diplomacy ready, so to speak, to tame the hungarian, i wanted to say, mustang, politics, i will say so, thank you for the question, it is really and interesting, and it is really correct, let's say, relevant questions, because there are two questions, will hungary with orban lead now? european union. i think no. we know that there will be european elections in june european elections, that is, before the elections to the european parliament. t

orbán and fijts, unfortunately, in their roles.unfortunately, kimchen seriously threatened south korea. about this and other things in a moment in the rubric world about ukraine. ukrainian day in important world institutions about supporting us. in our heroic confrontation with russian aggression, they were talking today both in brussels and in new york. after all, maybe they're still talking at the moment. first at headquarters. at the request of kyiv, nato convened a meeting of the ukraine-nato council, the main issue: helping us repel massive missile attacks from attacks by the terrorist country by supplying more anti-aircraft equipment, but at the security council of the united nations organization they planned to discuss and in the end, apparently, they are discussing among others the provision of ballistic missiles and other weapons by north korea to russia. and ammunition, which was eventually agreed upon, maybe i will say it at the end of the big broadcast, if there is information, but if it does not appear, then tomorrow a

prime minister viktor orban wrote about this on his page in the x microblog network. this is the former twitter. he called this decision a good one, adding that plan b of the european union is plan a of budapest. let me remind you that the leadership of the european union decided to work out alternative ways of providing assistance to ukraine by february 1, because at the december eu summit, orban blocked the four-fold plan to support ukraine in terms of volume. 10 billion dollars, well, information has already appeared about what the european union can offer and what plan b it might be. orban thinks that this is plan b, during which his position and demands will be heard, but the western mass media say that no, the european union is thinking about giving us 20 billion euros, but bypassing what orban says. and what he wants to be done in brussels. well, let's wait for february 1 and see what will happen there. well, in unison, unfortunately with viktor orban, he also speaks territorially a neighbor, the prime minister of slovakia, robert fico. according to him, the ev

orbán could not keep his word. bohdan, thank you.xtraordinary, it's always nice to talk to you, there's not always enough time, my colleague bohdan tsyupin was on the phone from london, we talked about the most important events for europe today in the context of ukraine. friends, this is how we say goodbye, thank you for watching voice of america in ukrainian, see you tomorrow, good luck, take care yourself, pa-pa there are 20% discounts on citrik in the psyllium and ochda pharmacies, there are 10% discounts on psyk at the psyllium and ochda pharmacies. vasyl zima's big broadcast, this is a big broadcast, my name is vasyl zimay, we are starting, two hours of air time, two hours of your time, many important topics we will discuss with you today, two hours to learn about the war, right now we will be about the war to talk more, serhii zgurets is with us, and how the world is living, now about what happened in the world, yuriy fizar will talk in more detail, yuriy good evening, be please, you have two hours to keep up with the economic

according to the political publication, hungarian prime minister viktor orban may become head of the european council after the departure of the current leader. charles michel plans to take place. in the european parliament, if he is not elected and eu leaders cannot quickly agree on a successor, the post for six months will belong to orban, whose country will become chairman of the eu council from july. true, for some eu countries, orban’s arrival as head of the european council is extremely undesirable, including because of his position on ukraine and current european politics. another scandal in the american education system. and because of political pressure , the head of harvard left his post. why the american dream is cracking and how people can be made an outcast for having an opinion, who else is thrown out onto the street, as well as the bribery system. in elite universities, who spit on general rules, corruption, repression and other scandals in understandable politics, watch today after the panorama. belarusian sport has a female face, vanesa once again proves this. the to

orban , the prime minister, the hungarian prime minister, and i sit and think, and what can this give, it's just always in the world, when such meetings happen, they happen automatically some good , well, maybe not an improvement , at least the deterioration of the relationship stops, can i... right , maybe actually, no, you are right here, you are right here, you are right, you are very right , actually, look, the trend has changed, look how the visit of robert fico, the prime minister of slovakia, ended just a week before, he stopped everything, blocked everything and said that the war must be stopped and that russia should not be defeated, and that he did not say anything there, yes, he came to uzhhorod, had a conversation and actually even signed a political resolution that supports zelenskyi's peace formula, which is a victory for ... over russia, which he so defended, we called it the policy of new pragmatism, what does it mean? physio simply demonstrated with his fingers how you can strengthen his internal power by letting his business earn money during the war, there, for exam

and then there is a quote from viktor orban. europeans themselves need this money.e are suffering more and more from poor economic performance. this money would be very useful for the residents of europe, the french, germans, hungarians, and poles. i would take the french, the germans, the poles here, in the end , i would not add anyone else, i would leave only the hungarians in viktor orbán's performance, well, because it seems to me that he does not think about others, he only thinks about them and about himself, but by the way, the fact of the existence of this compromise document, in which viktor orbán can make certain concessions to brussels, was also confirmed by the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, peter szijártó, during a press conference with his colleague from bahrain, and... abdel - by latif benrashed azzayani in budapest, he said that we are listening to peter szijharto in direct speech. what we need is not arms deliveries, not military psychosis, but an armistice and peace negotiations. that's why we don't think it's a good proposition to direct

prime minister viktor orban wrote about this on his page in the x microblog network. this is the former twitter. he called this decision a good one, adding that plan b of the european union is plan a of budapest. i would like to remind you that the leadership of the european union decided to work out alternative ways of providing assistance to ukraine by... february, because at the december eu summit, orban blocked a four-year plan to support ukraine in the amount of 50 billion dollars well, information has already appeared about what they can offer in the european union and what this plan might be. orban thinks that it is b's plan during which his position and demands will be listened to. but here. the western mass media say that no, the european union is thinking about giving us 20 billion euros, but the entry of what orbán says and what he wants to be done in brussels. well, we will wait for february 1 and see what will happen there. well, he speaks in unison, unfortunately, with viktor orban territorially, he is also a neighbor, the prime minister. robert fico of

i listed orban, fico, and here is some kind of underhanded game.ctually, let's recall the results of the nato summit in vilnius. actually, the united states of america, the position of the white house was against giving ukraine a political, formal invitation as a start. membership process, but it's a long, hard road, we we can see on the example of the same sweden, if finland was able to enter within a year from the moment of receiving the invitation, then sweden's process was delayed through turkey, through hungary, and so on. to be honest, i am now skeptical about the results of the anniversary nato summit in washington in july, but there is still some time and a lot will happen. depend on how the presidential campaign in the usa will develop, whether it will be profitable, in particular for the white house or not, formally for us, they approach it very pragmatically, so on the one hand the parties need to continue the track, well, the implementation of the entire package of reforms, so that our western partners do not use as an excuse that, as t

something happened to orban and fitza.t is very interesting to understand what is happening there now, that they will change so dramatically. their statements, who could influence them like that? most likely on them european money is affected, because the european commission continues behind-the-scenes negotiations with the leaders of both countries to continue to provide them with support from the relevant funds of the european union, and it is about billions of euros that flow into the budgets of both countries, and this is why in exchange, in fact, although... not officially, but it is obvious, in exchange for the allocation of 10 billion euros from the european commission to hungary's budget, orbán left the hall after voting for the start of negotiations with ukraine on joining the eu, and the same now, concerning hungary, 20 billion remains frozen, as for slovakia, there are also financial levers, and obviously diplomacy, financed... the european commission is working successfully, but i also want to note that one thi

orban spoke this week about nato, whether ukraine should join nato or not .et. this week shmygalem in uzhhorod and said that they will not object if private arms factories in slovakia will sell weapons to ukraine to private companies, what do you think is the reason for the change in the position of fico and orban, why are they going now, if you believe shmyhal's words, why are they taking a step to meet ukraine? well, first of all,... i will say frankly, after the statement of our current prime minister, mr. shmyhal, that ukraine can join the european union, i will allow myself to wait a little for the first date, after all, the approval of 500 billion is taking place exactly on the first day, all this beforehand, this that's all, well, let's wait for the first one and it will be very good if what the prime minister said. shmygal, it will be like that, 50 billion of macrofin will be provided, which was before, well, it is so obvious that this is the right decision of the european union for a long time, but let's not forget that there are still its funds, reg

, this is president katalin novak, this is balazs orbán, this is leventte moder, actually, that is why a meeting with an open program, both the parties said that they are ready to talk , to communicate as long as necessary , that is, look, you need to have restrained optimism, but again you need to find arguments for both sides, so that the hungarian side finally understands very simple , obvious things that it still does not understands: the first is that russia is our common enemy, because for the hungarians russia is so far, you know, such a very interesting ally, i don't know what to call it, to be honest, but they don't see russia as a threat at all, although, well this is a direct threat... obviously hungary has already felt it many times, they are so blinded, you know, and it is not just a question of gas, in general, well, it is difficult to say here, secondly, that ukraine will strengthen both the eu and nato, and actually hungary, as a neighbor of ukraine due to joining these alliances, hungary must also understand, yes, then there is the question of investment, economic, log

and you know how about the end of the war, says prime minister of hungary viktor orban.ill give you a quote. if in february 2022 donald trump was the president of the usa, there would be no war in europe. i don't see anyone but him, either in europe or in america, who would be a... strong enough leader to stop war, the world has, the world, the world has the name of donald trump, well, that is not enough, i hope that donald trump knows where hungary is geographically located, because he had problems with determining the territory, where and there slovak language, he confused something , but in any case, well, they will probably study it already, and before that he said that hungary borders with russia, in my way trump said it or trump said it, well, he obviously skipped geography lessons . well, it's like that, and what will be interesting if trump does not win the election, well, i don’t know, trump won’t win the election, unless they do infringe on him , they won’t, criminal cases have already been brought, but the criminal cases will be brought to an end and he will b

prime minister viktor orban of hungary has already stated that he is allegedly ready not to impose aid to ukraine under one condition, if the amount is changed every year. give, re-approve. at the same time, orban emphasized that he still does not agree to the allocation of 50 billion euros to ukraine, because he said it was a huge amount. well, i will add that european truth, citing a high-ranking official of the european union, writes that volodymyr zelenskyi will take part in the eu summit, but online tomorrow. pavlo klinkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, 2014-19, ukrainian diplomat, joined our broadcast. good evening. greetings, ms. vlasta, i am glad to be with you and your listeners. and of course the audience , forgive each other, yes, but what do you expect from tomorrow's summit, from viktor orban, will he go drink coffee again, but when they vote for aid to ukraine, can the situation turn out differently there, well, maybe coffee for him they will bring it, i don't know how they will do it there, although the brussels cow, well, not everyone is particularly attract

orban still doesn't tell us what to do with the slovak blockade and sfits.nd one more thing, now we will move on to our guest, but there is one more important signal from europe that the european commission refused poland, which asked, let me remind you, to restore quotas for ukrainian agricultural imports, so a plus point in the karma of the european commission. and in the meantime, we include oleksandr kovalenko, the group's military and political observer, in the conversation. information resistance. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr. herom glory, congratulations. mr. alexander, let's start right away with what there are some certain changes, disturbing notes, we already heard in the voices of our defenders, who spoke about these directions, and the bakhmut direction and kremin. in the kreminnaya area there, the institute for the study of war also relies on maps and everything, says that there is a russian advance. let's just say they're trying now. advance in all directions to the east, this also applies to the lyman-kupina axis, this also applies to the e

orban spoke about nato this week, what does ukraine need? should we join nato or not?s week with shmygal in uzhgorod and said that they would not object if private arms factories in slovakia sell weapons to ukraine to private companies. in your opinion, what is the reason for the change in the position of fico and orbán, why are they going now, if shmygal's words are to be believed. why are they taking a step to meet ukraine? well, first of all, i will say frankly, after the statement of our current prime minister, mr. shmyhal, that ukraine can join the european union, i will allow myself to wait a little until the first day, after all, the approval of 50 million takes place on the first day, all this is preliminary, that's all. well, let 's wait for the first one, and it will be very good if what prime minister shmyhal said will be true, 50 billion makrafin will be provided, which was before. well, it is so obvious that this is the right decision of the european union for a long time. but let's not forget that there are still her funds, regarding which i do not yet kn

if viktor orban does not cancel his veto on the allocation of aid to ukraine, then to the european one alternative options for continuation are being prepared, but not only i said this, but also ajalyabib, the minister of general affairs of eu affairs in brussels, the minister of foreign affairs in belgium, and jalyabi, at the same time she emphasized that currently the main goal is to reach the conclusion of an agreement with an opening proposal. next is a short quote from the minister. i believe that the most important thing is to... reach an agreement between the 27 eu member states. we will work on it, it is our priority. we will consider an alternative, but that will be after the february 1 summit. now the goal is to reach an agreement. well, february 1 is just around the corner, literally in two days, the leaders of the countries of the european union will gather in order to convince, or perhaps even put pressure on viktor orbán. i'll see what happens, i'll keep a close eye on it, of course you'll be the first to know about it. the russian war in ukraine has no military solution,

, it's not only, uh, orbán's policy on ukraine, but also orbán's policy on european union policy, andis blocking and the veto that he tried and in the past and in the recent past apply, do not contribute to the fact that he has developed good relations with european leaders. therefore, i think that the european leaders will still find a way to replace the president of the european council michel as soon as possible and find a new candidate, this is the question , in fact, why it arose, because it is necessary to approve the candidacy, and there is a certain deadline, as a rule, for the approval of such a candidate candidacy european leaders had longer time there, well, a year there. a few months, and now under the pressure of circumstances will be forced to work faster, well, this is not a tragedy, them you just need to make a decision faster, and if they really don't want to have this tension with orbán later, then i think it's better to quickly find a candidate who would satisfy everyone and who could fulfill the duties of the president of the european council from july, well, it lo

is it possible and what does this decision risk for viktor orbán?espondent zoryana stepanenko will tell more. the hungarian blockade of the eu budget, which includes , in particular, the 50 billion euro macrofin'. for ukraine was condemned in strasbourg, the european parliament, the majority of which has long and consistently criticized viktor orban , supported this resolution the day before with 345 votes. hungary's position was called disrespect and a violation of the strategic interests of the european union, which, they noted, should not succumb to blackmail. orban made it clear that he is ready to remove the veto from money for ukraine if the plan for its allocation is adjusted, that is, not all 50 billion for four years at once, but to review annually whether ukraine... needs it and whether it fulfills the conditions to receive the funds, that de facto gives hungary additional opportunities for additional vetoes. to go to a meeting with orban is to harm one's own reputation, meps emphasized from the podium. ukrainians are losing their lives, u

the adviser to the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán, said after this summit that in order forukraine to join the eu, at least 70 more unanimous votes are needed, and the leaders of the european union countries, i take this as a hint that we should always leave from the orban hall, or whoever will be there in the future will not be who the levers of influence on hungary now remain in the european union, and what is our strategy for working with this difficult country? i will not reveal all the details of the communication with the hungarian minister szijjártó on the eve of the eurocouncil, but in the wake of these... discussions , his phrase stuck in my memory, which i did not expect to hear from hungarians, and this is what you should understand , that you are great and strong, you are great and strong, and decisions about your membership, decisions about your future in general, cannot be made in the same way as for other countries, of course, he voiced it from the point of view of his own beliefs there. on behalf of the hungarian government, but we ukrainians have heard our o

well, of course, if prime minister orbán does not agree, then other eu leaders must publicly promisenently stop any funding of budapest from the european union. well, already today there have been a lot of comments, both from brussels and hungary, regarding this information, some say it's just a throw-in, some say no, it's the right thing to do, but it's a bonus. viktor orban, prime minister of hungary, already today said that he has some compromise option for ukraine, that is, he will agree to remove the veto on giving us 50 billion euros, but there must be something in the compromise, which is not yet known, maybe they talked about it today in uzhhorod, i don’t know, but hungary will not give in to blackmail either, that's what they called all these appeals coming from bruse. and the country's minister for european union affairs, janos boka, wrote about it on facebook, this is how he commented on this publication from the finance newspaper. times and then its short quote: if the information confirms what the hungarian government has been saying for a long time, then brussels is usi

this brussels plan. may apply if orban blocks aid to ukraine again, writes the financial times. at the same time, an official representative of the eu said in the newspaper that the plan that was leaked to zmi is an alleged one a technical note of a reference nature, which does not reflect the hit of real negotiations. in any case, the so-called moment of truth will come on february 1, when the leaders of all 27 countries of the european union will gather at an emergency summit, in kyiv they hope that it is at this summit that aid for ukraine will be agreed upon, but there are risks, because viktor orban promised that he would try to block this aid again. serhii grasymchuk, deputy executive director of the foreign policy council of ukrainian prism and director of the regional initiatives program joins our broadcast. neighborhood good evening. why, why did the hungarian minister come to ukraine? does this mean that budapest is really ready to organize a meeting, has agreed to a meeting between orban and zelenskyi? i am not convinced of... this, because in recent years, ukraine an

orbán's blackmail must be stopped.utin's friend. cannot continue to single-handedly block the european council, such statements were made by representatives of all the main, largest political groups of the european parliament, and in this connection the european deputies call on the european commission and the european council to start the procedure for hungary under the article parf2 of the agreement provoked to deprive orbán of the right to vote in the european. council, and may also prevent hungary from taking over the presidency of the european union on july 1 , 2024. accordingly, the resolution based on the results of today's debate is currently being prepared, it should be put to a vote tomorrow, and tomorrow we will see whether it will contain this same call to deprive orbán of the right to vote in the european council. but it is worth noting that right now during of the debate, hungary has already answered that it is still going to continue his blackmail, the european deputy from hungary, from orbán's fidesz pa
