Hungary’s last-minute cancellation of talks with Ukraine, after Kyiv’s team was already in Uzhhorod, is cowardly and calculated. Orbán isn’t defending minority rights, he’s abusing them to humiliate Ukraine and stall its EU path. This is blackmail, not diplomacy. 1/2

By sabotaging dialogue, Orbán sides with autocracy over solidarity. His tactics echo Kremlin interests. As António Costa put it: “Hungary is isolated… and 26 are more than one.” Orbán may win points at home, but he erodes Europe’s credibility abroad. 2/2

Trump announced “terrible sanctions” if Russia refused a ceasefire. It’s time to act. Enough with the diplomatic games and selling the “successful process” to everyone. In reality, this delay is costing us lives.

A parade of bile and lies. As if not dozens of allied states, but Putin personally defeated Nazism. As if he raised the Victory Banner over the Reichstag in Berlin with his own hands. Thank God, Ukraine has escaped from this whole swamp.
