Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's proposal to mediate Ukraine-Russia peace talks, preferring direct discussions with key leaders, including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Orban suggested a Christmas ceasefire and prisoner exchange, but Zelensky dismissed his ability to influence Russian President Vladimir Putin, labeling the proposal as self-serving. Meanwhile, Trump vowed to resolve the conflict swiftly, while Russia maintained its stance that Ukraine must recognize territorial changes before talks.

In a surprising turn, former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a peace plan for Ukraine, which could reshape the current trajectory of the conflict. The plan, proposed by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, suggests a potential Christmas ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. This plan has already garnered attention, with talks between Trump and Orbán taking place behind closed doors. The proposal comes amid increasing international tensions and calls for diplomatic solutions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed skepticism, rejecting the plan as a move that undermines EU unity. Could this Christmas ceasefire be the breakthrough that ends the Ukraine war, or is it just another fleeting diplomatic effort?

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has launched a scathing critique of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for rejecting a proposed Christmas ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Labeling Zelenskyy’s decision as a path to a "blood-filled Christmas," Orban accused Ukraine of turning down a genuine effort for peace.
The controversy erupted after Orban revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Hungary, during its EU presidency, proposed a ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner exchange, only to be met with outright rejection by Kyiv. Zelenskyy, in response, mocked Orban, accusing him of leveraging the peace initiative to bolster his personal image and dismissed the proposal as disingenuous.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban initiated a crucial phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the ongoing Ukraine war. This diplomatic exchange comes just days after Orban's meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed his intention to broker a peace deal swiftly once in office. Orban, known for his close ties with both Trump and Putin, is seeking to navigate Europe through what he calls the "most dangerous days" of the conflict. Despite facing internal and EU opposition, Orban has remained a staunch advocate for peace talks and has refrained from sending military aid to Ukraine. The call with Putin is part of his broader strategy to find a diplomatic solution to the war, while also discussing energy projects and Hungary's continued dependence on Russian energy despite European sanctions.

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation.

A powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Tibet's Tingri county on Tuesday, causing widespread devastation. At least 95 people have been confirmed dead, with more than 130 injured. The earthquake's epicenter, located near the Nepal border, rocked remote Himalayan villages and the holy city of Shigatse, around 180 km away. Tremors were felt in neighboring Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of northern India. Over 1,000 homes were damaged, and many areas have become inaccessible due to collapsed buildings and landslides. Rescue operations are underway, with over 200 soldiers deployed and 1,500 more on standby. Despite the ongoing efforts, aftershocks continue, complicating rescue efforts. Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged full-scale efforts to minimize casualties and provide shelter to those affected in freezing conditions.
