Hungarian PM Orban Meets Putin in Moscow as Trump Drives Bold Push to End the Globalists’ Disastrous Ukraine Proxy War

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the unyielding champion of national sovereignty in Europe, visited Moscow today to discuss energy security and how to bring the bloody, nearly four-year Russo-Ukrainian war to a conclusion—once again thumbing his nose at the unelected, pro-war at any cost bureaucrats in Brussels.

As the EU’s globalist bureaucrats in Brussels double down on their one-size-fits-all sanctions and lockstep foreign policy that’s diametrically opposed to the interests and well-being of working Europeans, Orbán has boldly charted Hungary’s own path: prioritizing cheap, reliable energy for his people and keeping vital diplomatic lines open that the global liberal establishment has foolishly slammed shut.

Before departing from Budapest, Orbán outlined his priorities: safeguarding Hungary’s winter energy needs at fair prices, with Russian gas and oil serving as the backbone of the nation’s economic independence. He stressed that the Ukraine war—prolonged by global liberal meddling—would naturally feature in his frank talks with Putin.

Hungary’s no-nonsense Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó reaffirmed the government’s steadfast commitment to peace through direct dialogue, firmly rejecting the endless arms shipments, pallets of cash, and diplomatic blackouts pushed by globalist liberals and neoconservative warhawks—policies that only fuel more needless death and destruction while propping up Zelenskyy’s institutionally discriminatory regime that systematically marginalizes ethnic and linguistic minorities, like Hungarians, Ruthenians, Russians, and others.

At the Kremlin, President Putin hosted Orbán warmly, commending the Hungarian patriot’s sensible, self-reliant foreign policy—a refreshing antidote to the ideological echo chambers in Paris, Berlin, and Brussels.

Putin further spotlighted Orbán’s proactive offer to host peace negotiations in Budapest, including a potential high-stakes summit with President Donald Trump, who has eagerly welcomed the proposal as a smart way forward.

This move aligns perfectly with Trump’s push—despite internal efforts to undermine him by crypto globalists—to finally end the nearly four-year quagmire in Ukraine through a robust peace plan. Trump’s team, spearheaded by special envoy Steve Witkoff, is set to arrive in Moscow next week, while U.S. officials hold parallel talks with Ukraine—bypassing the bureaucratic paralysis that’s defined the Biden era.

Panicked European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are scrambling to assemble their own watered-down counter-proposals that would also place the U.S. on the hook for “security guarantees,” exposing deepening cracks within NATO as globalist agendas collide with realities on the ground.

For Hungary, it’s all about putting Hungarians first. Thanks to exemptions won under Trump’s first term from U.S. sanctions on Russian energy, Budapest has kept its supply lines intact—sparing families and businesses from the crippling energy crises and inflation spikes that have hammered other EU countries.

Orbán has long warned that blind adherence to ideological globalism trumps national survival, insisting that Europe’s working-class economies can’t afford endless disruptions or bottomless war funding dictated from .

The failed Biden approach—continued on by the EU’s global liberals—has poured fuel on the fire with nonstop military and cash aid combined with punitive sanctions. But Orbán, like Trump, calls for a swift return to the negotiating table, arguing that true leadership means choosing diplomacy over escalation to save lives and restore stability.

The tide appears to be turning quickly. Trump’s initiative is gaining real traction in Moscow and Kyiv, and Orbán’s Kremlin visit cements Hungary’s role as a key player in forging a sensible deal.
