The Hungarian prime minister says Ukraine should be split into areas controlled by Russia and the West, separated by a buffer zone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Partitioning Ukraine into Russian and Western zones of influence is the likely outcome of the conflict and the only reliable guarantee of the EU’s security, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.<\/p>\n

Kiev has pressed its Western backers for security guarantees as a precondition for a settlement with Russia, first pushing for NATO membership and later floating ideas such as ‘peacekeepers’ and a buffer zone with Western military patrols. Moscow has rejected Ukrainian membership in NATO or Western troops on its territory, stressing that any settlement must include Kiev’s neutrality, demilitarization, and recognition of Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye as Russian territory.<\/p>\n

Orban, however, has suggested it is time for the West to acknowledge Russia’s “inevitable”<\/em> military victory and to begin deciding how Ukraine should be partitioned.<\/p>\n

”Europeans all so elegantly talk around security guarantees, but the security guarantee actually means the division of Ukraine,”<\/em> Orban told guests at the annual Civic Picnic in Kotcse on Sunday. “The first step has already been taken – the Westerners have accepted that a Russian zone exists.”<\/em> He referred to earlier remarks by US President Donald Trump that Ukraine regaining Crimea was “impossible.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The result would be a Russian zone, a demilitarized zone and, eventually, a Western zone…The only question is how many kilometers away from the border of the Russian zone a demilitarized zone should be established,”<\/em> he stated.<\/p>\n

Orban noted the outcome would only slightly differ from the pre-conflict balance, when Ukraine itself acted as a buffer between Russia and NATO with “50% influence”<\/em> each in the country. He said this division would help end the conflict and benefit all sides, particularly the EU, which he warned is on the verge of “collapse”<\/em> and lacks the means to fund the conflict further.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian leader has long criticized Brussels over its “warmongering”<\/em> stance on Russia and support for Ukraine. In his speech, he repeated his warning that Ukraine’s EU accession would trap the bloc in a permanent conflict with Moscow, calling instead for an EU-Russia security pact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
