dmytro, could viktor orban come as a mediator?iktor orbán would very much like to be a mediator, but fortunately for us he cannot be one, this is a good sign, because viktor orbán is not the right politician, no offense, hungary is not the right country. the budapest memorandum has a bad reputation, to sign something else in budapest, similar. here it is in the end... viktor orban is not ready, he knows bad ukraine, he does not feel it, he has one, he is loyal to russia, that is, it does not mean that he does not understand that russia is committing genocide in ukraine and so on, although he does not admit it publicly, but everything is the same, that is, viktor orban is an intermediary, why he came, yes, in fact, this visit was prepared for a long time, it was discussed in various formats, volodymyr'. invited viktor orban to ukraine at least twice in the last year and a half, in the last year. viktor orban persistently avoided a visit to ukraine, generally avoided full meetings with volodymyr zelenskyi. zelensky hunted him politi

a temporary political move, it will be worth watching, because until now hungary, specifically viktor orbánts leader, has been consistent, in relation to ukraine in only one way, in obstruction. the european union's support for ukraine since russia attacked ukraine. so, if we talk about orban's leadership in the eu council, yes, a person who constantly opposes eu aid to ukraine, as you already said, can he somehow personally negatively affect the further provision of this aid? in fact, not at all, certainly within the next six months. no, and this is an interesting and important moment for ukraine in this story, because, well, actually, eu leaders, some of which, as well as the diplomats of the european union, recognize. on the record that sometimes it is even difficult for them to motivate themselves to shake viktor orban's hand, they were preparing for the fact that from july of this year viktor orban will head the eu council, and key decisions regarding military aid, regarding support for ukraine in general and the start of negotiations on ukraine's accession to of the european union, de

so why viktor orban?me rather unexpectedly. to ukraine, what he wanted, what he could talk about and what might be hidden behind his visit, vasyl and i will talk about this and other things with dmytro tuzhansky, director of the institute of central european strategy, who joined us on skype, mr. dmytro, i congratulate you , glory to ukraine , glory to the heroes, good evening, thank you for joining us today, i am sure that you have already repeatedly answered these questions about this visit of viktor orban to... to ukraine and answered specifically in particular, to the question of why he came right now, on the second day after the transition of the presidency of the european union to him, after he repeatedly said that there are many unresolved issues between ukraine and hungary, in particular, they are related to the hungarian a minority in transcarpathia, and now he is coming, the topic of the russian war. is on the agenda of the negotiations, there is a topic of bilateral relations, but it seems to me

such assistant to the president of the russian federation, viktor orban, did not convey messages from to putin, and he also states that russia perceives orban on trips to moscow as the prime minister of hungary, but no one removed his powers as chairman of the council of the european union. and also on the details of the negotiations, which at this moment throughout appearances continue, let me remind you that any minute we are expecting statements from russian president vladimir putin and the leader of hungary. viktor orban’s statement to the press, well , details also appear with reference to dmitry peskov, that russia highly values ​​orban’s desire to take into account the positions of both sides of the conflict, to compare the positions of both sides of the conflict. and also our colleague pavel zarubin, the author of the host of the moscow kremlin putin program, who is in the kremlin, now has a new video, behind the scenes, like sergei lavrova. the minister of foreign affairs was literally attacked by western journalists, asking him some questions on the sidelines in anticipation

on the second of july, literally the second day after hungary began to preside over the eu, viktor orbanme to kyiv, where he offered zelensky to cease fire and sit down at the negotiating table with putin. at that time, zelensky did not directly respond to orban's proposal. at least publicly, for sure, it seems, and it still remains unclear, in whose capacity orbán made such a proposal, as the prime minister of hungary, or as a european leader? as some political scientists assume, he deliberately leaves room for maneuver so that everyone wonders who orbán represents, only hungary or the eu in general. in the european union, orban's visit to moscow was criticized by the head of the eu council according to the principle of rotation, does not give the hungarian prime minister the authority to conduct a dialogue with russia on behalf of the entire eu. said the head of the european council, charles michel. olena abramovich will tell more details about the reaction of european leaders to orban's so-called peace mission, she is in touch with us from brussels. elena, good evening, congratulation

well, before today, viktor orban remains almost the only leader of a european state who did not visit ukraine during the full-scale war. moreover, orbán remains the only european leader who maintains relations with vladimir putin and meets with him despite russian aggression. in principle, there was no hungarian prime minister in ukraine for a very long time. the last time he visited kyiv was during the presidency of viktor yanukovych. so why did orban come to kyiv? why did he talk to zelensky about the ceasefire? what could remain of their plots negotiations? well, in the end, orban came to kyiv as who? as the hungarian prime minister or as a representative of the european union? after all, from yesterday on july 1, hungary began to preside over the eu, as the guardian writes, for example, between the interests of budapest and the interest. the european union itself is a conflict. well, returning to orbán's statement today about the proposal to cease fire and that this will be the basis for further negotiations. again, i draw your attention to what we just showed you: volodymyr zelen

hungarian prime minister viktor orban.it was he who cautiously condemned russia's invasion of ukraine in 2022, while avoiding criticism of vladimir putin. last december, viktor orban blocked 50 billion euros of aid to ukraine and proudly spoke about it in brussels. then, however, the money was unblocked. and remember this moment during. the new president of argentina, then volodymyr zelenskyy asked orbán to name at least one reason why hungary is blocking ukraine on its way to the eu. orbán met putin in beijing, their handshake was later criticized by european leaders, and only after 2 15 years of war did orbán visit kyiv. in the last few weeks viktor orban traveled a lot kyiv, moscow, beijing, and then the nato summit in washington and a meeting with donald trump in florida. why does the hungarian prime minister have the role of a peacemaker, we will try to figure it out later, but for now we will remember what these peacekeeping trips looked like. the so-called peace mission of viktor orbán caused a lot of controversy ar

this and what kind of equation we have, well, indeed, as you know, the prime minister of hungary, viktor orban has already arrived in the ukrainian capital, in kyiv, where is to hold a number of meetings with high-ranking ukrainian officials, here it is worth noting that orban's visit has been prepared for quite a long time, he was talked about for many months and the ukrainian side repeatedly invited him, but we see that only from time to time. viktor orban and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi crossed paths at some events, recently it was on the sidelines of the eu summit leaders in brussels, where they exchanged words, and even earlier they had a meeting during the inauguration of the president of argentina javier millay, and there were also various so guess what they could talk about in those few seconds, but we see that so far this meeting has not happened before, only we remember a meeting was held in the city of uzhhorod between the minister of legal affairs, dmytro kuleba, and his hungarian colleague, peter siyarto, where they discussed further steps towards the normalizatio

hogy magyarország július elsejétől átvette az európai unióban az elnökséget, soros elnökséget, mi orbán viktoregvitattuk oroszország és az európai unió közötti kapcsolatok helyzetét is, amelyek most mélyponton vannak. given that orban cannot represent the european union in negotiations with putin, and brussels excludes any possibility of dialogue with the russian leader, such rhetoric raised eyebrows among hungarian foreign minister petr sejart, who recalled that hungary is still a sovereign country. let me add that the meeting between putin and orban was not officially announced, so this afternoon came as a real shock to many. natalya solovyova studied the violent reaction of western politicians. viktor orbán's plane had barely landed. an information storm broke out in moscow in europe. chief european diplomat josep barel was the first to react, calling the visit an exclusively bilateral affair between russia and hungary and calling for the hungarian leader not to be considered the voice of the entire european union. the european commission stated that this trip undermines the unity of the eu

that is, when we analyze now this tour, viktor orban's world tour with these pa'. precisely for putin for xi, and for trump, now the time will come for conditional consequences, i.e. note that immediately after the trip to beijing, hungary did not block in any way, and could not block, but how it turned out inconveniently that, following the results of the nato summit , a communiqué was agreed upon by all the participants, in which china was defined as a key, well , in fact, an ally of russia in... the war against ukraine, but the chinese were wildly indignant, the chinese at the official level were wildly indignant that they were included in that way in this final communique? this is exactly what i mean, that is... someone didn't just write it down, including the signature and support of hungary as a nato member state. therefore, you know, this is the dilemma in which viktor orban has found himself more than once and will find himself given his policy, when he, for example, at least trump, with his openly anti-chinese agenda and sentiments, will have to explain why... orbán does not

vladimir putin and viktor orban caused a stir in the white house in the european union.olovyova will tell you what caused the hysteria. as soon as viktor orban’s plane landed in moscow, an information storm broke out in europe. chief european diplomat josep barel was the first to react, calling the visit exclusively a bilateral affair between russia and hungary and calling for the hungarian leader not to be considered the voice of the entire european union. the european commission stated that this trip undermines the unity of the eu. we are talking about reducing tensions, but not about peace. we believe this undermines the unity and sense of purpose that we must demonstrate that this war will end. secretary general stoltenberg, who is leaving his post, said: they do not need minsk-3 in nato, they are afraid that orban’s trip will affect the future summit in washington. budapest is capable of blocking the alliance’s decision on ukraine. hungary informed us about this upcoming visit, i expect that when orban attends the summit. in the capital, the kremlin, european offici

as soon as viktor orban’s plane landed in moscow, an information war broke out in europe.hungary and calling not to consider the hungarian leader as the voice of the entire european union. the european commission stated that this trip undermines the unity of the eu. we are talking about reducing tensions, but not about peace. we believe this undermines unity and sense of purpose, which we must demonstrate so that this war ends. secretary general stoltenberg, who is leaving his post, said that minsk-3 does not need nato to fear that orban’s trip will affect the future summit in washington. budapest is capable of blocking the alliance’s decision on ukraine. hungary informed us about this upcoming visit, i expect that when orban is at the washington summit next week, there will be an opportunity to discuss the negotiations that took place in moscow. while the cortege of russian auros raced through the capital, the kremlin, during the race, european officials wrote angry messages on all social networks available to them. ursula fondeen laid. in just 13 words. appeasement will

you mentioned these 11 demands of viktor orban.the same time, viktor orbán heads the country tomorrow, which the day after tomorrow, which becomes the chairman of the european union, and information has already appeared in the online edition of european truth that he will allegedly... visit kyiv next week, that kyiv will be the first capital, which he visits as the person presiding over the eu, despite the fact that he has not yet come here, however, he has not been here once after the great attack, he was in moscow before the great attack, remember, and why is it so, and because if viktor orbán does not have time to jump into this boat, then george maloney will not take his party into his faction. in the european parliament, and if she does not take his party and her faction in the european parliament, then hungary will not be able to get any positions in the committees of the european parliament and in the european commission, and viktor orban will get rid of his influence, you will never put pressure on bulgaria, because as i un

be said that immediately after the first meeting, which was followed by a business breakfast, viktor orbanographs on facebook. meetings with the inscription peace is what needs to be achieved. on our part, he commented, the first comments were from viktor ushakov, they were very restrained, positive, i would say, he stated that the russian federation perceives orban on his trips to moscow as the prime minister of hungary, but no one removed his powers as chairman council of the eu. well, of course, uh, very interesting visit. because viktor orban is indeed now the chairman of the council of the european union, the chairmanship there is carried out on a rotational basis, until the end of the year hungary is the chairman of the european union, well, in addition, viktor orban, in recent weeks, months he met with ex-president trump, with whom he on a friendly footing with sijinping, well now. he met with zelensky 3 days ago and today with putin, that is, in fact , he is turning into such a major political figure who can actually lead conversation with everyone on the world political stage, wit

now, the meeting was really, though, because viktor orban has just taken over because viktor orban hasover yesterday as the chair of the rotating council which leads the eu, so he has effectively —— he is effectively —— he is effectively for six months the president of the european union, and he came here in that role on effectively one of his first days on the job, i think is a signal that he could work with president zelensky and ukraine stop the body language in the news conference was not always very comfortable. president zelensky stressed the importance of european support while viktor orban talked about the possibility of perhaps a ceasefire, hastening negotiations. that is certainly not ukraine's policy which views it is important to strengthen its position on the battlefield against russia. so controversial visit? a difficult visit, but a symbol perhaps of those two sides, viktor orban in this case particularly representing the eu, trying to work at least to some extent with ukraine. meanwhile, us defence secretary lloyd austin met his ukrainian counterpart in washington tuesd

just at our disposal the very first footage has appeared, these are putin’s negotiations with viktor orbanhank you, thank you, so the first words were spoken, two-sided. orban apparently brought a peace plan to moscow in russia, and also plans to tell putin about at putin’s request, the eu’s vision of what is happening right now in the special operation zone, will donald trump’s peace plan be discussed, bearing in mind the closeness of relations between trump and orban, well, in the public, open part, the part called the official protocol, this information was not available, but... what the collective west, america, the european union is like. the european commission has just stated that they believe that orban’s visit is aimed at reducing tensions in relations with russia, which does not correspond to and contradicts the strategy of the european union, that is , the strategy of the european union, the worse, the better, so to understand. girls, which one of you is me? stood up, oh you, you lived like family for a year, i’ll curse you, look at rtr, my work, and if it’s mine, then what did

who does viktor orban represent today, or rather , who does viktor orban represent in moscow today?country, the european union, or yourself personally? it is absolutely true, viktor orbán, the prime minister of hungary, as long as he has enough health, he chose a good time and a good place, a good topic to establish himself as the prime minister, the leader of his own of the people and... and a man who can say in a full voice what others are supposedly afraid to say, that is exactly how he presents it, everyone needs peace, everyone there is something in bluesel, in the chairs, as he says, they sit and think about peace, and this peace is also impossible to achieve, you have to go to the enemies, persuade them, listen to them and try to somehow bring them closer together, here i am brave brave, risky, young, compared to putin, that's what i'm doing, that's what i'm doing, i guarantee peace for you hungarians, i'm trying to guarantee peace for you europeans, and if someone in america is afraid of a nuclear war with the russian federation , then i guarantee this peace for them as well

on july 2 , hungarian prime minister viktor orban arrived in kyiv with an unannounced visit. e will remind that on july 1, it was hungary that began the presidency of the eu. this is orbán's first trip to ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. viktor orban at the talks with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi expectedly promoted the idea of ​​an immediate armistice with russia, but did not insist on it. at the same time, it is reported that almost at the time when the prime minister of hungary was meeting with the president of ukraine in kyiv, the hungarian minister of foreign affairs peter szijarto had a telephone conversation with the head. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. what made hungarian prime minister viktor orban dare to travel to kyiv? all the previous rhetoric of the head of the hungarian government was reduced to the fact that hungary does not agree to the improvement of lending conditions of ukraine, as well as providing it with the latest types of weapons. hungary is also known for its unique position within the european union. union,

so, what is the alternative to the peace plan'. suggested by viktor orban., in fact, the hungarian prime minister said today in kyiv that he supports all directional initiatives. to end the war, initiatives from ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi, obviously also referring to the peace plan of ukraine, and these peace, peace summit or peace meetings, peace process that ukraine is trying to initiate, but again, the hungarian prime minister the minister asserting that he is for peace, that his government is for the war to end. does not call on russia to withdraw troops from ukrainian territory, he does not call on russia to stop aggression against ukraine, on the contrary, very often, and in particular , today in kyiv , calls were again heard from him for ukraine to agree to a cease-fire, this is how it sounded from his mouth. my first trip is here because... the issue of peace is of primary importance not only for ukraine, but also for europe. this war you are suffering has a profound effect on european security. we greatly appreciate the initiatives for

at these moments , vladimir putin is holding negotiations with viktor orban. the prime minister of hungary is in moscow on a working visit, this time orban came to the russian capital not only as a long-time partner, but also as president of the european council. vladimir putin stated this before the start. meetings, discussing, among other things, the situation in ukraine. we will learn all the details from anastasia efimova, she will join the broadcast. anastasia, greetings, vladimir putin also noted that he is going to share with orban the nuances of his proposals for a settlement, peaceful regulation in ukraine. what is known at this moment? yes, dash, well, it is reliably known that the negotiations have been going on for the second hour, and this of course, definitely not the limit. we have something to talk about, the words of the russian president, voiced in the kremlin. not relationships in numbers, viktor orban also calculated. the current meeting of the leaders of russia and hungary, according to him, is the eleventh, and the first after a long brea

hungarian prime minister viktor orban caused a hysterical attack among western partners.

well, now let's look at the geography of viktor orban's travels this month, and what did he achieve withhem? hungary's six-month presidency of the eu council began with orbán's trip to ukraine. on july 2 , he visited kyiv for the first time in 9 years. later it turns out that this was only the first stop on his journey, he will call the journey itself a peace mission. in addition to talking about bilateral relations at the meeting with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, orban outlined his vision of peace. at the press conference, he noted that the rules of international diplomacy are slow and complicated, and peace talks can be accelerated, they say, by ceasing fire. i asked mr. president to think about it. is it not possible to go the other way, take a break, cease fire, then resume negotiations, because a cease-fire could ensure an accelerated pace of these negotiations. i am very grateful to the president for his frank opinion on this matter. ukrainian society met such a statement without enthusiasm. statements that ukraine does not minsk-3 is needed, they hear all the time

that is why viktor orban prepared his trip to taene, knowing in advance the entire bureaucratic machineth vladimir putin, but now that orban was in the kremlin, it was no longer possible to disrupt the negotiations. i understand that this time you have arrived not only as our long-time partner, but also as the presidency of the european council, i hope that you will introduce me to your position, the position of the european partners. there is a lot of time during the protocol opening speech. didn't go away. and then, when the press came out, we could say: negotiating with putin is a real challenge if you want to be on the same intellectual political level with him. these impressions of viktor orban were recorded immediately after the negotiations on the way back from moscow. vladimir putin was also asked about the hungarian prime minister not so long ago in the fall of 2023 in beijing, where russian-hungarian negotiations took place. as for prime minister orban, he is often accused of some kind of pro-russian sentiments, this is nonsense. him not a pro-russian mood, he is not a pro-rus

and this will not be possible without the voice of hungary and viktor orban., that is, the european union is officially isolating itself, in this regard we are, of course, waiting for negotiations between seyaert and lavrov in new york. we are brought to the usa in direct communication with igor naimushin. igor, hello. so trump is already a candidate. in this regard, is there any understanding about... joe biden's assassination attempt, all these ups and downs in politics, they leave him in this position, is it beneficial for him? olga, hello, well, biden has already admitted that he allowed himself that rhetoric regarding trump within his company that should not have been used, he should not have said specific words, for example, that biden needs to aim for the bull's eye, and other things, he called to unite nations after a failed assassination attempt on its main competitor. it is expected that he will be elected, and there are no alternative candidates like him now, despite the fact that, again, recent events and failed assassinations have only increased q

visits was not about negotiations, not about finding peace or any way out, ending the war, which viktor orbánbout, that is , his trip is a big performance, a big show, with the corresponding goals , orbán's number one goal is that he could not further delay his trip to ukraine, he was pressured for... zelenskyi is his partner, he invited him twice, he caught him there in brussels, in argentina, that is, well, orban seems like one, by the way, you have to look, maybe he is the last leader of the country, a member of the eu, who was not in kyiv, and this is an important gesture , an important gesture not only for zelensky, that it is necessary to come to kyiv and, conditionally speaking, to testify there to the territorial integrity, independence of ukraine, sovereignty, which viktor orban ultimately did, did not want to do, he wanted to act ... how trump acts, how xi acts, yes, what avoid, ignore zelensky's invitation, that is, well, and even more so when you represent the country that presides over the eu, that is, here he has turned into a strong position, yes, the second moment, when you ha

viktor orban, but in his own words he voiced the answer personally to vladimir putin at the meeting.at ukraine is going to continue to take the longest possible path towards reconciliation. russians before completion preferential mortgage programs managed to accumulate a record number of loans. well, how will the situation develop after the cancellation? state support and what will happen to housing prices - our colleague nika yankova found out. rub 578 billion russians took out mortgages with state support for this amount at the end of june. within a month the volume increased by a third. preliminary data are provided by the central bank. when compared with june last year, the figure increased almost 1.8 times. according to statistics from the united credit bureau, in may twenty on the fourth, russians took out a record number of housing loans, 75% of them were received. if we are all together, the availability of housing will continue to be disrupted, it will be difficult for developers, because big things have been done, the investment cycle there is quite long, and it will not be

this is when viktor orban was going to kyiv. eople said, you can see the success of ukrainian diplomacy, with orban at the head of the european union, after his country began to preside over european union, he is forced to fly to kyiv to show that he remains in the fairway of european politics. if orban wants to be a european leader, then as the head of the country that presides over the european union, he just needs to go to kyiv. drechi, i wrote it myself. such a text, he himself urged viktor orbán to go to kyiv for the first time since his presidency of the european union, but orbán listened to all such advice that was then in the world press and in the hungarian press, no matter what, no matter what, and came to kyiv, such a victory, even orban is forced to go to kyiv, you remember that he was not in kyiv for many years in a row, and here suddenly it turns out that he only needed this trip. in order to legitimize the trip to moscow, imagine if borban had not been accepted in kyiv, had refused to talk to him here, he would not

viktor orban is on a visit to moscow.etermination will pave the way for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in ukraine. further. stoltenberg, friends, is not a retiree either. but nevertheless, let’s listen to what stoltenberg says about this visit of orban. viktor orbán informed us. in his visit, of course, viktor orban does not represent nato in these meetings, he represents his own country, i expect that when viktor orban will be in washington at the nato summit next week, we will have the opportunity to discuss his trip to moscow and what he negotiated there, let’s put it in perspective, andrey, that’s what you meant, i can give you the whole program with these to engage in comments, well, by retiring, i didn’t mean those who left the political part, i meant peter paul. is located, and we remember the assassination attempt on the prime minister of slovakia, then there are serbia, greece, that is , there is a seed of some countries that are in favor of normalization, we just don’t have their voices we hear, they do

that's when viktor orban was going to kyiv, and many people said, you can see the success of ukrainianplomacy. orban is in charge of the european union, after his country became the chairman of the european union, he is forced to fly to kyiv to show that... that he remains in the fairway of european politics, if orbán wants to be a european leader, then in the rank of the head of a country that presides over the european union, he just needs to go to kyiv. by the way, i myself wrote such a text, i myself called on viktor orbán for the first time since his presidency of the european union to go to kyiv. well, orban listened to all such advice that was available at the time and in the world press, and in the hungarian press, as it were, as it were. and he came to kyiv, such a victory, even orban is forced to go to kyiv, you remember that he was not in kyiv for many years in a row, and here it suddenly turns out that he needed this trip only in order to legitimize the trip to muscovites, imagine if borban had not been accepted in kyiv, had refused to talk to him here, he would not have go

the british financial times reports that viktor orban will come to moscow to meet with putin. to become a mediator between russia and ukraine, the visit has not been officially confirmed, but putin will really be working in the kremlin all day today in terms of international meetings,” said dmitry peskov. the head of the european council, michel, has already stated that hungary does not have the right to contacts with moscow on behalf of the entire european union. orbán now truly represents not only hungary, but also the council of europe, of which he is chairman. immediate six months, the polish hyenas howled, prime minister donald tours asked the prime minister what is called a direct question. rumors about your visit to moscow cannot be true, because this is madness? orban has left the question with tusk unanswered. in kiev, orban is officially called the kremlin canned food, but here what is called unchanged . in ukraine they still can’t understand that orban is not a pro-russian politician, he is pro-hungarian. a politician who understands that the war in ukraine will soo

so, hungarian prime minister viktor orban is in moscow.ssion continues, he wrote on his social networks immediately after arriving in the russian capital and published a photo from moscow. the hungarian side demonstrates in every possible way that this visit is for the sake of peace and for the sake of putting an end to human suffering. so, in particular , the head of the hungarian foreign ministry, peter, wrote in his social networks sijarto. a huge question, in fact, is who and whether anyone authorized orbán. on this peace mission, we will talk about it in detail.

hopefully the recent meeting between president zelenskyi and prime minister viktor orban in kyiv willomething. 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

the kremlin is closely following the visit of the hungarian prime minister , praising viktor orban'stand the essence of the differences between russia and ukraine. mr. orbán is indeed taking a serious initiative to compare the positions of different parties, based on primary sources, and we highly appreciate the same high assessment that president putin gave to these efforts of mr. orbán. fly to beijing, it was not announced the day before. today the government board flew to washington, the 4:0 peace mission will be continued at the nato summit, how feasible it will become clear very soon. natalya solovyova and evgenia zemtsova, news. and now it's time for economic news: russians at the end of june, mortgages were issued for 777 billion rubles. over the month, volume increased by a record 44%.

according to former president donald trump met with viktor orban in florida today.his meeting comes a week after his talks with russian president vladimir putin in moscow, and a visit to china to meet with chinese leader shizenping. yes, here 's the picture: donald trump, during his first term, hated democratically elected leaders. be it the democratically elected prime minister of britain täre, be it the democratically elected leader of germany, angela merkel, be it the democratically elected leader. then to china, and as you say, now he has trump, what is the question, where will he go tomorrow, i don’t know. i don’t know, maybe he’ll go to ukraine again, i don’t know, with all due respect to all countries, big and small, not all of their leaders can negotiate, you need to have at least some kind of force behind you. hungarian prime minister orban visited moscow right before the nato summit; he is a critic of military assistance to ukraine. how concerned are you that this is a demonstration of a split in nato, and what steps need to be taken. the split doesn’t bot

on the eve of his visit to kiev, viktor orban again criticized the current one.e, as the western press dubbed viktor orban, limited himself to a handshake; ukraine did not receive the warm hugs that zelensky had become so accustomed to in 2 years. natalya solovyova, matvey popov, news. well, german chancellor olaf scholz arrived in warsaw to visit his colleague donald tusk. the first intergovernmental consultations in 6 years are on the agenda, but the main topic, as the polish media writes, is reparations, which will be announced by the head of the german cabinet. we are talking about hundreds of millions of euros that will be received by 45. people, relatives of those who died at the hands of the third reich during the german occupation. the international reconciliation fund will handle the payments. in addition, the construction of a polish-german house is planned in berlin. but i note that the topic of reparations is extremely controversial for both countries, even now. some german citizens are strongly against it; they believe that they owe nothing to warsaw

in fact, viktor orban is accused of foreign policy visits unauthorized by brussels, namely to kiev, moscowf european discontent was the nato summit in washington, where orban spent almost the entire day with his longtime friend, a candidate for presidents donald trump. as a result of such a demarche, the european parliament adopts an official resolution that condemns the actions of the hungarian prime minister. this resolution openly condemns viktor orbán's diplomatic visits to ukraine, russia, china and the united states and weakens european unity. we can't blame hungary. he needs to be punished. the level of representation in hungary at informal meetings of the eu council has been lowered. but there are plans to completely deprive the country of voting rights in the eu. budapest responds to this: it is not for brussels to dictate with whom to cooperate, with who doesn't. it is important that we hungarians remind ourselves that the presidency of the european union, which in brussels is called rotating, does not give us the right to negotiate on behalf of anyone, but we are sitting at the

obviously always had sympathy for vladimir putin, as well as other strongmen of this world, like viktor orbán it is currently unknown what exactly is included in trump's plan, but orbán, as we know, visited trump right after the nato summit, declaring afterwards that he knew trump's plan, and therefore orbán went to meet with... with putin. it appears that orbán is trying to play some kind of intermediary role in the implementation of trump's plan, but the bottom line is that if trump wins, we will definitely not see the same level of support as the $60 billion that was ultimately acceptable to ukraine. actually, we in ukraine would not like to be cheated by big and powerful world players. we understand that the issue of the russian -ukrainian war is not only a bilateral russian-ukrainian issue, it is an issue on... around which the whole world is currently working, only a large part of that world, unfortunately, can support putin, and accordingly, what should we do right now so that we are not replaced by those people who will support this plan of viktor orban, in fact, this plan is most lik

according to her, prime minister viktor orban presented himself as a representative of the european unionit to moscow for which he did not have permission. and this, says the head of the finnish foreign ministry, is simply unacceptable. in her opinion, a separate country can express its own views, but not the one that presides over the eu, so on. "worth it to wonder if the eu is the right group for hungary, if its ideas are so different from our shared values." and let hungary, the hungarian leadership, really think about it. maybe average hungarians want to be in the eu, but as we can see, the leadership of this country is doing their best to get themselves out of there, and in the end, when practically the whole world is closed to you, you have to choose from what is left. the russian government sent almost 250 of its children to rest in a children's camp, again drumbeat, to the rooster. this was announced by the government of the primorsky krai. children were gathered from several regions of the country, the terrorists were there from moscow, st. petersburg, primorsky krai and others.

does brussels have the power to finally show viktor orbán a red card. a red card is. if we stick to the football metaphor, then a red card means that the player must leave the field. this will not happen, no one can be kicked out of the european union. so unlike football, here he can have several yellow cards and still stay in the game. the trip to... as well as the trip to beijing and the way these trips were conducted is a serious violation, both in the written and unwritten rules of how an eu country should conduct foreign policy. consequently, it caused a great scandal and publicity within the european union. certain political countermeasures have already been applied. for example, some eu member states are boycotting high-level meetings of the hungarian eu presidency. viktor orban was not invited to the european parliament to present his presidential program. the head of the european commission, ursula fondeen, is not going to come to budapest, which is a very strong diplomatic signal. however, when it comes to practical countermeasures, punitive m

viktor orban is leaving the kremlin, these are the shots, but you and i understand that this is not justow from moscow, we see, we understand perfectly well, that most likely viktor orban is leaving moscow from here to his home, with some, perhaps, signals, some, perhaps, messages. european leader orban leaves the kremlin at the russian senate. and the manufacturer of these cars is under western sanctions, all these public details of the visit are now being discussed by the media, but much in big politics should remain secret, this is how the hungarian minister communicated with colleagues, covering his mouth with his hand so that no one could read anything on his lips, the sco itself also sands were talking on the phone, together with the back table of the shanghai cooperation organization summit , major political events are often called historical by many journalists, but this is not always true, but today this is definitely a historical summit, the sco has officially expanded as a new member of the organization, the republic of belarus has become the republic of belarus, documents wer

about this, as vladimir putin pointed out following the results of negotiations in moscow with viktor orban. anastasia efimova has all the details. a direct and honest exchange of views is how vladimir putin described the conversation with viktor orban regarding the international agenda, including the ukrainian conflict. the president of russia and the prime minister of hungary held a meeting this friday in the kremlin, in the context of budapest’s presidency of the european council, as well as viktor orban’s trip to kiev at the beginning of this working week, obviously the issue of settlement is key on the agenda of this board, as for russia, it has repeatedly said that we have always been and remain open to discussing a political and diplomatic settlement, but on the other hand we hear. and the desire to resolve the issue in exactly this way, the sponsors of ukraine continue to try to use this country and its people as a battering ram, a victim of the confrontation with russia, as we see the state of affairs, including taking into account heard today from mr. prime minister, in kiev they

viktor orban went to kiev and moscow with a peace initiative; european officials are already demandinghat the hungarian government be deprived of the presidency of the eu council. the most comfortable, reliable, fastest transport in the capital. the minsk metro accepts congratulations on its anniversary and pleases with underground news. a living chronicle of the war years with a complete immersive effect, hurry up. arrived victoriously at the minsk-passenger station. summer holiday on the banks of the dnieper. alexandria gathers friends again. what will surprise us about the fifteenth fest this year? belarus is proud to have become a full member of the sco. the key words of the president at the summit of the shanghai cooperation organization in astana scattered across many media outlets, the association of which has become a real mouthpiece for a little over 20 years. danger, in this case the initiative must be taken ourselves as a country of the global majority, since the narcissistic, selfish west was not capable of this, there are no leaders there today who are capable of making re

not only. on the part of viktor orban, yes, who has his own game there, it is clear, except for trips yes, viktor orban, i remind you, is forming, has already formed the third largest faction in the european parliament, so i i think that he has such a long-term strategy of reformatting european politics for himself, by the way, i wouldn’t be surprised if he succeeds in this situation, especially if trump comes to power, but even many other members, but it’s interesting that his main political opponent of hungary went to ukraine. well, yes, but even many nato members, i think, have already sort of morally come to terms with the fact that trump can really return, so we’ll have to negotiate with him, so we’ll have to sort of fulfill trump’s demands there to increase military spending, because 2 % is wonderful, and so far, many countries have not been able to reach 2%, there is the same spain, italy, belgium, canada and so on, but trump already wants 3-4-5%, yes, by the way speaking, the closest trump adviser elbridge kobe is the man most likely to take the stand. i think that many democr

viktor orban begins negotiations with vladimir putin, vladimir putin begins negotiations with viktor he first visit to krem by the leader of a european country in the last 2 years, which is why today everyone is listening even more closely to every word. welcome to moscow, to russia. and here’s how orban begins communicating with putin. dear mr. president. thank you for having me today. just a few minutes in public. and further, the clock is completely closed. regime this week , putin, of course, had a huge number of important meetings, but exactly what is happening will happen behind these doors that are now closing, perhaps interests everyone most of all; without exaggeration, the negotiations between putin and orban are now being watched by the whole world. well, at least how is the atmosphere of the negotiations? the atmosphere was very good, good, we managed to come to at least some kind of compromise. i can say that many issues were discussed, including , of course, ukrainian. before february 22, when numerous negotiations on ukraine were also taking place here, a huge number of

the european parliament condemned viktor orbán's supposed peace efforts after his visit to moscow.out of 705 deputies voted for the resolution. the parliamentarians said that orban's visit. in russia blatantly violates treaties and general foreign policy. in the text of the resolution, it is emphasized that hungary should be punished for these actions, well, here is a quote from the text. given the fact that the so -called peacekeeping mission of the prime minister of hungary was immediately followed by an attack on the ohmadit children's hospital in kyiv on july 8. the resolution also says that this demonstrates the inappropriateness of orbán's peace efforts. this was reported in the press service. of the european parliament, well, this is a very important resolution for us, as we can see, it was supported by a lot of people, regardless of what a lot of representatives of right-wing or far-right parties passed into the european parliament, who will now support me for ukraine, we see that something has changed in them, but not so fundamentally that we worry that support for ukraine

in the first ten days of july, viktor orban successively visited kiev, moscow, beijing , and finally met with the president of turkey. lastly. orban visited donald trump, and it turned out that the main obstacle to the start of peace negotiations is the position of the current us administration. europeans are coming for biden administration, which is struggling for political survival. the most important question for them now is whether joe biden can stay in the presidential race, so they don't have a hand in foreign policy. if europe wants peace and wants to have the final say in resolving the conflict and ending the bloodshed, it needs to remain silent. develop and implement a change in political course. ballás orbán did not specify how the eu countries responded to the hungarian prime minister’s proposal. but such a reaction became known to the american newspaper politico. according to her, the head of european diplomacy intends to disrupt the meeting that hungary, as the country's chairman of the european council, is going to hold in august. josep borel organizes his own meeting on
