Orban noted a decrease in the likelihood of a third world war due to the summit of the Russian Federation and the United States

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban believes that the online summit of the European Union (EU) confirmed that the danger of World War III could only be reduced by a meeting between US Leader Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. On August 19, he wrote about this on his Facebook account (a social network banned in Russia, owned by Meta Corporation, recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation).

"It has been confirmed that the threat of World War III could have been reduced only thanks to the meeting between Trump and Putin," the post says.

In addition, Orban wrote that military actions on the front line of Russia and Ukraine cannot lead to a solution to the conflict, only diplomatic efforts can lead to a way out of the crisis.

Earlier, on August 14, Orban said in an interview with PragerU that peace in Ukraine would come when Russia and the United States agreed on a world order. In his opinion, the countries should discuss issues of armament, disarmament and energy.
