Labeling Zelenskyy’s decision as a path to a "blood-filled Christmas," Orban accused Ukraine of turning down a genuine effort for peace.
The controversy erupted after Orban revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Hungary, during its EU presidency, proposed a ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner exchange, only to be met with outright rejection by Kyiv.
Zelenskyy, in response, mocked Orban, accusing him of leveraging the peace initiative to bolster his personal image and dismissed the proposal as disingenuous.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has sparked political shockwaves by refusing to sign the EU’s joint statement backing Ukraine, issued just days before the upcoming Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska. The statement, agreed upon by other EU leaders, emphasized that international borders cannot be changed by force and that peace in Ukraine must include Ukraine’s voice. Orban claims the declaration was an attempt to set preconditions for a meeting to which the EU was not invited — further deepening tensions within Europe ahead of a critical geopolitical summit.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared.
Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences.
Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace?

Just hours before his highly anticipated face-to-face with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, President Donald Trump has set off a political firestorm with one of his most explosive statements yet on the Ukraine war. Hinting at a major policy shift, Trump’s remarks are fueling speculation that he may be ready to scale back U.S. support for Kyiv — a move critics say could hand Moscow a strategic victory and leave Ukraine out in the cold. The timing, so close to the summit, has only amplified the shockwaves rippling through Washington, Kyiv, and global diplomatic circles.

Ukraine has launched a dramatic strike just hours before the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces reportedly blew up a Russian ship docked at Port Olya, allegedly carrying Iranian-made drone parts. The move is being seen as a bold sabotage attempt aimed at derailing peace talks, escalating tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, and sending a defiant message ahead of the much-anticipated face-off between the U.S. and Russian leaders.

Shocking CCTV footage has captured the moment a Ukrainian drone slammed into a civilian vehicle in the heart of Belgorod, Russia, unleashing a fiery blast that left three people wounded. Among the victims, one man is reported to be in serious condition. The attack occurred in broad daylight at a busy city intersection, sending pedestrians and drivers scrambling for safety.
Local authorities say the strike was part of escalating cross-border drone assaults targeting Russia’s Belgorod region in recent months. Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor, confirmed the injuries and released the harrowing footage, which quickly went viral. The dramatic clip shows the drone swooping down before detonating on impact, obliterating the vehicle in an instant. Officials have condemned the attack as an act of terrorism against civilians, while Kyiv has yet to comment. The strike underscores the growing reach of Ukrainian drone operations deep into Russian territory.

In a move sparking outrage in Kyiv and across Europe, U.S. President Donald Trump is facing accusations of caving to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands even before their high-stakes Alaska Summit begins on August 15, 2025. The talks, set at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, aim to broker a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, but Moscow insists on three controversial conditions: Ukraine’s full military withdrawal from four occupied regions, formal recognition of Russian sovereignty over annexed territories including Crimea, and a constitutional ban on NATO membership.
Critics warn these terms would reward aggression, dismantle Ukraine’s sovereignty, and embolden future invasions. Trump’s openness to “territorial swaps” has raised fears of a deal without Kyiv’s consent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed “no concessions,” while European allies caution that agreeing to these terms could rewrite global borders by force and undermine international law.

Inside a peaceful Parisian park lies a powerful story of faith, exile, and identity. Every year, Tibetans gather at the Pagoda of Vincennes for the Sakya Monlam prayer—thousands of kilometers from their homeland. As tensions rise with China over the Dalai Lama’s successor, refugees like Tenzing and Lobsang share their fears, hopes, and ties to India—whom they call their “second homeland.” This is more than a spiritual gathering—it's a silent resistance for a forgotten people.
