Agence France-Presse, Reuters and dpa-Presse reported on July 5 that after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban made a surprise visit to Russia and held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the European Union, NATO and Ukraine criticized one after another.
Seeing Orban's statement, I suddenly remembered another person in the European Union back then, who was former French President Charles de Gaulle. The establishment of diplomatic relations with the East under pressure back then can be regarded as an earth-shattering shock.
Back then, he was under a lot of pressure and was opposed by many politicians in the West, and the same is true for Orban today.
Those in the West were furious at Orban's behavior, warning Hungary against appeasement towards Moscow and saying that Orban does not represent the European Union. The United States also expressed "concern" about Orban's visit to Moscow.
At present, except for Germany, all countries in the EU are silent, and only the president of Slovakia has expressed his admiration for him.
As for several bigwigs in the European Union, they are also opposed. Bloomberg reported that European Council President Charles Michel posted on the social media platform X on Thursday: "The EU presidency does not have the authority to engage with Russia on behalf of the EU. ”
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said on the 5th that Orban's visit to Russia does not represent the EU "in any form".
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on the social media platform X that only the strong unity of the EU27 can pave the way for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. "Appeasement cannot stop Putin," she said. ”
Truth be told, if von der Leyen continues to be president of the European Commission, it will only be a matter of time before the EU is destroyed.
One is holding the assets of the EU to aid Ukraine, and he does not care about the life or death of the EU people
The White House also criticized Orban's visit to Moscow, AFP reported.
And Ukraine, NATO is also critical of Orban's visit to Russia, please ask what if it depends on you.
Is it to keep fighting? Or what to do? I hate this group of politicians in the West, all of them are sanctimonious, just for their own interests, really for the country, and there are really not many.
Germany has a sense of presence, and Orban is not afraid of the EU at all
Orban is really not afraid of these criticisms. In other words, if you are really afraid, you will not dare to meet Russian President Putin in the Belt and Road last year!
To say, at present, French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister are silent, but I didn't expect the German Prime Minister to be the most embarrassed.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on the 5th that although Hungary currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, Orban's visit does not represent the European Union, and the EU's foreign policy is not determined by Orban. He vowed that the EU would not weaken its support for Ukraine.
It should be said that since Merkel left office, Germany is now getting farther and farther away from the largest country in the European Union. Scholz should be said to have been defeated, and the political property left by Merkel has caused Germany's position in the EU to plummet.
As for Scholz's statement, Orban is also directly unaccustomed
According to Reuters and Bloomberg, German Foreign Ministry officials said on Friday (July 5) that German Foreign Minister Baerbock was scheduled to hold talks with Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó in Budapest next Monday (8th), but the Hungarian government suddenly canceled the talks on Friday night.
A German Foreign Ministry official said that the German and Hungarian foreign ministers needed to have a "serious and candid" discussion about Orban's "discretionary" trip to Moscow.
Hungarian Foreign Ministries and government spokesmen did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
What the German female foreign minister wanted to do when she came over, everyone must be able to guess, there is really no need to meet.
It can only be said that the EU contradicts itself, and if it does not recognize that people go on behalf of the EU, then they go as the president of Hungary, and what is wrong with that.
In fact, they say that it is meaningless for the Russia-Ukraine conflict to do this occasionally, but the editor thinks that at least they can strengthen information communication and understand what the bottom line of the two sides is.
It's what you still want, whether Ukraine still wants to continue fighting, and what is Russia's attitude.
For politicians, this is actually an opportunity to make political capital. If anyone can successfully mediate the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, he will be the first person in the European Union. I don't know if that's the reason, that's why they're against it!
In fact, many people know that if they want to stop the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, they must at least meet Putin and Zelensky to act as a microphone between them.
Some people just pay lip service to action, but don't do it, and if you don't do it, someone else will do it.
The EU and Hungary are quite contradictory,
According to Xinhua News Agency, Putin exchanged views with Orban in Moscow on Friday on hot issues of bilateral cooperation and the situation in Ukraine.
At a joint press conference after the talks, Putin said that his talks with Orban were useful, candid and informative. Russia and Hungary will continue to carry out pragmatic and mutually beneficial cooperation in the fields of energy, medical care and medicine.
At the time of the SCO summit, Putin had already stressed his willingness to resolve the matter peacefully, but some people clearly did not want to.
is talking about the United States, after all, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is very far away from the United States, and it can also use this conflict to drag Russia down and balance the European Union.
Most of the funds that the United States had previously aided were returned to their own territory to facilitate the military-industrial complex, and he did not suffer a loss.
In addition to those pro-American, other people in the EU also have the intention of retreating, such as Poland, which has said that it will not send troops to Ukraine, but will strengthen its own defense.
In fact, Orban said very accurately that peace cannot be achieved "from the comfort of an armchair in Brussels".
We cannot sit back and wait for this war to end miraculously, it has been more than two years, and there is no intention of stopping, and it is time to take concrete action.
The NATO summit is about to stage another "group fight" drama, and it is estimated that Orban will be criticized
In a few days, the NATO summit will be held in Washington, and it looks like Orban will have to be criticized again.
These politicians in the West also come to see people, and we in China have dealings with Putin and have a state visit, and the West has nothing to dare to say!!
The same thing happened to Orban, it was a great sin, and he was caught and punished.
I met with Putin at the Belt and Road Summit last year, and when I came back to attend the EU summit, I was given a cold reception.
Everything is still based on comprehensive strength, if Orban is the leader of France or Germany, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will not start at all!
brief summary
The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the evaluation is almost at the end of the stage, and it may have to stop with Trump coming to power, and for countries, they should also find ways to discuss this matter!
In fact, the more people like Orban are, the better it will be for the development and future of the EU.
