5 July 2024 at 12:26 Anger in the EU over Orban’s trip to Moscow Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is in Moscow on Thursday, where he will meet President Vladimir Putin. It causes anger in the EU. The trip is especially heated because this week Hungary took over the chairmanship of the union. – Orban does not have a mandate to engage in Russia on behalf of the EU, tweeted an angry EU President Charles Michel on Wednesday evening when rumors of the trip began to circulate. The so-called “peace tour”, which takes place just days before the start of the NATO summit in Washington, is also heavily criticized by other EU summits. For his part, Orban defends himself by saying that peace in Ukraine cannot be achieved from an armchair in Brussels. (NTB)
