Orban’s key points from the EU online summit:

1 “It has been confirmed that the risk of World War III can only be reduced through a meeting between Trump and Putin.”

2 “It has been confirmed that the isolation strategy has failed.”

3 “It has been confirmed that there is no solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the front lines; only diplomacy can bring it about.”

4 “Ukraine’s membership in the European Union does not guarantee security, so linking membership and security guarantees is unnecessary and dangerous.”

Orbán also said that Hungary welcomes the steps taken as part of the Trump-Putin talks. The Hungarian initiative to hold a Europe-Russia summit was included in the agenda.
