⚠️ Trump Won’t Give Ukraine a Penny – Viktor Orban

The Hungarian PM stated that Trump has “quite detailed plans” to end the war in Ukraine and he will not give Kiev a “single penny,” following their meeting in the US.

"He has a very clear vision that is hard to disagree with. He says the following: first, he will not give a single penny for the Russo-Ukrainian war.

That's why the war will end, because it's obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet. […] If the Americans don't give money, then the Europeans won't be able to fund this war alone,” Orban said in an interview with the M1 tv channel.
