Orban predicts war's end by 2025, eyes economic rebound
The war between Russia and Ukraine is expected to conclude in 2025, according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. He stated that this could happen either through peace negotiations or the defeat of one side. Orban expressed confidence that once the conflict ends, European economies, particularly Hungary's, will achieve "great success."
In an interview with "Magyar Nemzet," Prime Minister Viktor Orban was questioned about the war in Ukraine.
- The war will end in 2025. It will either end through peaceful negotiations or the destruction of one of the warring parties - he explained.
Orban believes in success after the war ends
He expressed hope that after the conflict concludes, European economies - especially Hungary's - will experience "great success."
- We are ready, and we will soar in 2025. Instead of a policy of war, the policy of peaceful years will return, and we will have great economic success again - he argued.
Orban also highlighted that his government is forging partnerships worldwide, including with the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin.
- The new US president favors Hungary. The Chinese president has visited two European Union countries, France and Hungary. The Turkish president is our friend, the Russian president is our honest partner, and the Israeli prime minister is our good friend. I doubt there has ever been such a situation in the history of Hungarian diplomacy - he mentioned.
