EU Punishes Hungary: High-Level Summit Cancelled Over Orban's Controversial Ukraine 'Peace Mission'
A high-level EU foreign affairs summit scheduled for August will be moved from Hungary to Brussels, the bloc’ top diplomat, Josep Borrell, confirmed on Monday.
Speaking at a press conference in the Belgian capital, Borrell said the bloc must “send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal,” to punish Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for his Ukraine “peace mission,” which EU officials have condemned as contrary to the bloc’s policies.
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.

Ukraine launched a massive drone and missile attack on Russian territories, damaging factories and closing schools. In retaliation, Russia fired its hypersonic "Oreshnik" missile, escalating tensions. Putin warned of a potential global conflict, accusing the US and Britain of enabling Ukraine’s strikes. Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump called for a ceasefire, questioning Washington's future support for Ukraine. As casualties rise and millions are displaced, the crisis mirrors Cold War-era tensions, pushing the West and Moscow into dangerous territory.
