Hungary is ready to provide Moscow and Kiev with a platform for talks aimed at settling their conflict, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. His comments followed Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s ‘peace mission’ in which he visited Ukraine, Russia, China, and the US in a bid to end the hostilities. In an interview with RIA Novosti published on Thursday, Szijjarto recalled that a few days after the outbreak of hostilities in February 2022, Budapest tried to encourage direct Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations by contacting both Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Andrey Yermak, Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff.

Germany's proposed 2025 budget aims to halve military aid for Ukraine from €8 billion to €4 billion. This comes amid economic challenges, with a €17-billion budget gap and plans for increased borrowing. The decision reflects broader financial pressures, including the depletion of a special military modernization fund by 2028. Germany's economic struggles are partly attributed to its rejection of Russian energy sources.

Polish President Andrzej Duda has warned of an imminent war between Russia and NATO if Kiev fails to secure victory in its conflict with Moscow. In an interview with the Wirtualna Polska news portal on Tuesday, Duda claimed that if Russia were allowed to defeat Ukraine, it would then attack NATO states – a prospect that has been mentioned by Western leaders several times and which Russia has repeatedly denied.
