Orban Defies European Unity, Refuses to Back Ukraine Just Days before Trump–Putin Summit in Alaska
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.

Ahead of the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected any withdrawal from Donbas, warning it would allow Russia to launch a “third war” in Ukraine. He insists ceding territory would expose cities like Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv to occupation. While Putin is expected to push for Ukrainian withdrawal, Zelensky seeks EU security guarantees and ongoing Western support. U.S. officials say Trump aims to eventually broker direct talks, but no ceasefire proposal so far assures Ukraine’s long-term safety.

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?
