Hungarian Prime Minister Orban said on October 17, local time, that as far as the Ukraine issue is concerned, the EU must transform its current war strategy into a peace strategy, and must achieve a cease-fire and conduct peaceful negotiations. Orban said that the EU's response to the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict was “poorly planned and poorly executed,” and that it adopted the wrong strategy for this conflict. Orban urged German Chancellor Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron to start talks with Russia as soon as possible on behalf of Europe in order to “find a way out of this situation.”
