Ukraine war 5, Viktor Orban and Donald Trump as potential peace makers

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban is currently the President of the EU in a rotating Presidency system. I like his position on the Ukraine conflict -- not impose or control agenda but understand "redlines" between Ukraine and Russia, so that non-redlines can be discussed more to have ceasefire at the minimum, and end the war as best outcome. 

Former US President Donald Trump who is likely going to win this coming November US elections said he also has a formula that can quickly end the conflict in Ukraine. Trump has a good record in peace -- no new war by the US for 4 years 2017-2020, plus he wanted to pull out US troops in Iraq and Syria, among other countries with big US military presence. 

Below are some of the articles I saw about the subject. Enjoy. Photo below from AP.

Kyiv visit was scoping mission on Zelensky’s red lines to peace, says Hungary PM Orbán

Viktor Orbán says he didn't try to impose a peace strategy on Volodymyr Zelensky, but simply wanted to better understand his red lines

On his unannounced trip to Kyiv and the end of the war, Orbán said that those who want to control events will never be successful, while those who want to be useful and help others must first “let go of their ego.” He added that the truly important topics are war and peace, the position of Ukraine and Russia, and the interests of the European Union.
