Orban's Russia Visit: Peace Talks & Energy Deals

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, seeking to secure Russian energy supplies for the upcoming winter. Orban, known for his close ties with Putin, has consistently challenged EU efforts to halt Russian oil and gas imports. His visit comes amidst parliamentary elections and amidst a peace summit proposal that was reportedly scrapped due to Russias unwillingness to compromise. Orban also secured a US sanctions exemption for Russian fuel, which will last as long as he remains in power. Despite his claims of supporting peace, Orbans focus on Russian energy deals suggests a shift away from his previous stance on Ukraine. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
