Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blasted the United States’ 28‑point peace plan for Ukraine, accusing President Trump of inflexible determination and calling Brussels’ focus misguided.
Orban on Trump’s Ukraine Plan
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban took to social media to criticize the United States’ 28‑point peace initiative for Ukraine. He said Trump’s peace drive had gained new momentum, citing the U.S. negotiating delegation’s presence in Kyiv and high global expectations. Orban called the president an unyielding individualist, claiming that if Trump had been in power then, the war would never have started. He stressed that once Trump decides on a goal, he does not relent, and that ending the Russia‑Ukraine war is among his sure objectives.
Brussels Loses Orientation on the Peace Process
Orban warned that while Washington pushes for peace talks, Brussels is preoccupied with securing more funds for Ukraine and ongoing war support. He asserted that Hungary has a say on the matter, and that a “moment of truth” is looming for the Brussels leadership. According to Orban, focusing on fiscal gains instead of the peace settlement signals a loss of direction.
Czech and Slovak Views on the U.S. Peace Plan
Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala stated that the Czech Republic backs the Trump administration’s actions, yet peace cannot be negotiated without Ukraine’s participation. Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky referenced the Munich Agreement, warning that conceding foreign territory does not prevent war but opens the door to it, and pledged to continue cautioning against a “Munich 2.0”. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico described the U.S. plan as realistic and noted its backing by Bratislava, though he insisted the plan’s terms require Kyiv’s agreement. He said the plan validates his government’s stance of halting military aid to Ukraine, arguing that after almost four years of conflict, Ukraine’s negotiating position is now weaker than it was in 2022 when early peace talks began.
