Hungary, Slovakia BLAST Zelensky in Letter to EU After NATO's Vital 'LIFELINE' Bombed; Switch Sides?
Hungary and Slovakia have issued a joint letter to the European Union sharply criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Ukrainian drones struck the Druzhba oil pipeline — a key energy lifeline for Central Europe.
The move has fueled speculation that Budapest and Bratislava could distance themselves from Kyiv and shift their stance within NATO and the EU.

A major escalation in Europe’s energy war: Russian crude oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline have been suspended after an alleged Ukrainian attack on a transformer station. Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó called the disruption “outrageous and unacceptable,” while Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry implied Hungary should blame Russia for starting the war. The halt comes just days before Trump, Zelensky, and EU leaders are set to meet — raising fresh questions about NATO unity, Europe’s energy security, and the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a striking endorsement of the Trump-Putin Alaska summit, declaring that “the world is a safer place today than it was yesterday.” Orbán praised the meeting as a long-overdue reset between the two biggest nuclear powers, accusing President Joe Biden of dismantling the framework of U.S.-Russia cooperation. The Hungarian leader said Trump and Putin had ended years of hostility and reopened the path to dialogue. His remarks were hailed by Moscow and welcomed by Trump allies, while Western critics warned Orbán was legitimizing Putin’s war agenda. Both Trump and Putin reportedly agreed that Biden’s approach had accelerated tensions instead of resolving them. The summit, which ended without a ceasefire deal in Ukraine, continues to send shockwaves across Europe. Orbán’s comments add fuel to an already divisive global debate over whether the Alaska meeting represents peace progress or dangerous appeasement.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has rattled Kyiv and EU capitals with his latest declaration: Slovakia will not send U.S. weapons to Ukraine and firmly rejects the idea of funding arms deliveries through the European Union. While reiterating support for Ukraine’s EU membership bid, Fico opposed its NATO accession and called instead for direct peace talks with Russia.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has shocked Kyiv and EU leaders by declaring that Slovakia will not support sending U.S. weapons to Ukraine at the EU’s expense and firmly opposes Ukraine’s accession to NATO. While Fico reaffirmed support for Ukraine joining the European Union, he criticized current Western strategies, called for peace talks involving Russia, and warned against what he described as a dangerous arms-funding model.

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?

Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to the closed city of Sarov, home to the Russian Federal Nuclear Center (VNIIEF), raised alarms as it signaled a possible escalation in nuclear preparations. Joined by top Russian officials, including General Valery Gerasimov and Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev, Putin paid tribute to the designer of the first Soviet atomic bomb and held discussions with nuclear industry personnel. The visit followed a controversial post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that Ukraine would have "no chance of winning" unless allowed to strike inside Russia, a comment that sparked tensions.

The U.S. has shut its closest allies out of Ukraine peace intelligence in a stunning break with the Five Eyes alliance. A July 20 directive from DNI Tulsi Gabbard classified all Russia–Ukraine negotiation files as NOFORN—blocking access for the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Reports first surfaced via CBS News, sparking outrage across NATO capitals. Critics say Trump’s “America First” strategy risks fracturing the alliance, weakening Kyiv, and handing Moscow leverage, with allies warning of possible retaliation.

Russia has escalated the war in Ukraine with one of its biggest aerial assaults of the year, launching over 600 drones and missiles on western Ukraine, striking residential areas and even a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border. At least one person was killed and 15 injured, including six night-shift workers at the American-run Flex factory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of deliberately targeting American businesses, declaring that Putin does not seek peace but aims to install a Russian puppet in Ukraine. The attack came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump met Putin in Alaska and hosted Zelensky and European leaders at the White House. While Russia’s foreign minister claimed peace talks could happen, Zelensky said Moscow’s actions prove otherwise. The strike has raised tensions in Washington and Europe, with leaders weighing stronger sanctions and new military guarantees for Kyiv.

Russia escalated tensions ahead of a key Trump–Zelensky–Putin tri-meeting by launching a deadly strike on U.S.-owned Flex Ltd. in Ukraine. The attack used a mix of drones, cruise missiles, and advanced Kinzhal hypersonics, overwhelming Ukrainian air defenses. At least 15 were injured as missiles tore through the Flex plant in Mukachevo, forcing 800 night-shift workers into shelters. Analysts warn Putin’s use of unstoppable hypersonic missiles signals a show of force meant to provoke Trump and humiliate Ukraine’s defenses.
