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.

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.

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?

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.

Russia has launched fresh strikes on Ukraine, leaving at least 21 people dead and casting doubt on the prospects of meaningful negotiations. As questions mount over whether Moscow is testing Trump’s resolve or sabotaging peace efforts altogether, the bombing underscores the volatility of the conflict

Muscovites are reacting with a mix of hope, skepticism, and outrage as face-to-face talks between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky are reportedly back on the table. While some see it as a crucial step toward a ceasefire and a potential win-win outcome, others question Zelensky’s legitimacy and doubt any progress can be made. From Red Square to the Kremlin embankment, opinions reveal a city divided over whether these talks could finally end the war—or simply become another stalemate.
President Donald Trump has ruled out sending U.S. ground troops to Ukraine, telling Volodymyr Zelensky that Washington may only provide air support if the conflict escalates further. The announcement underscores Trump’s push to limit America’s direct military involvement while still signaling U.S. backing for Kyiv.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is pushing back against Donald Trump’s peace initiative, demanding a Russian ceasefire before any summit with Putin and Zelensky can proceed. Merz warned that credibility of negotiations depends on Moscow halting attacks, urging European leaders to pressure Putin. He confirmed discussions with U.S. and EU partners on security guarantees for Ukraine but cautioned Putin’s participation in talks remains uncertain. While Trump pushes for direct negotiations, Merz insists Europe must play a central role in shaping long-term security arrangements.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev unleashed a scathing attack on European leaders after their White House talks with Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky. Medvedev claimed the “anti-Russian warmongering coalition” failed to challenge Trump and instead “surrendered” and “sucked up” to him. He ridiculed Zelensky as “the Kiev clown,” suggesting Ukraine may abandon any guarantees offered. The jibe comes after tense Washington meetings where Trump dismissed European calls for a quick ceasefire, instead signaling flexibility on long-term security structures.
