Putin stresses peace only after Ukraine's surrender as Hungary's Orban makes surprise visit to Moscow
Fox News
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has kept in close contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since the invasion of Ukraine started, but he did not visit Kyiv until this week.
Orban turned heads this week when he made back-to-back trips to Kyiv and Moscow just days before a major NATO summit in Washington, D.C., next week. Hungary on Monday started its six-month tenure as the president of the EU, which is a rotating role among all members, and this is Orban's first visit to Ukraine since the invasion started in Feb. 2022.

European Union Foreign Policy chief Josep Borrell rushed out a statement stressing that Orban had no mandate from the union and that he was "not representing the EU in any form."
