Trump regularly consults with Orbán
What is important to understand is that the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, is a pro-Russian politician who has never hidden it.
He often makes scandalous and false statements about Ukraine, and also blocks aid for it in the European Union.
According to anonymous sources, after November 5, Trump held several phone conversations with Orban, during which he paid a lot of attention to the situation in Ukraine.
In addition, the mass media learned that the leader of Hungary intends to resume his "peacekeeping mission", preparing to make new visits.
The details remain unclear, although interlocutors speculate that Orbán will try to convey a message to Trump, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
