Cooperation between Ukraine and West is failure, it is impossible to win war against Russia – Orban

He said this in an interview with Bild.

"I am not against Ukrainians. So I don't want to look like a person who doesn't hope that Ukrainians have a chance to survive. But I am down-to-earth. The reality is that cooperation between Ukraine and the West is a failure," Orban said.

In his opinion, it is impossible to win the war against Russia.

"The problem is that the Ukrainians will run out of soldiers before the Russians do," the Hungarian politician said.

According to him, Ukraine will lose many people, suffer destruction and achieve nothing, so a truce is the only way out of the current situation.

It is worth noting that Orban regularly makes statements that humiliate Ukrainians and their fight against Russian occupiers. For example, in April, the politician called Ukraine a "financially non-existent state". He said that Ukraine pays pensions and salaries only thanks to funds provided by the EU, including Hungary.

In May, Orban expressed his belief that no one could defeat Russia, and in early June, he called on Ukraine to hold peace talks, threatening it with huge losses in case of a counteroffensive.
