According to Isna, “Mike Waltz”, the choice of “Donald Trump” for the position of National Security Advisor of the President of the United States of America, announced on Sunday evening (yesterday) that the Trump team proposed the proposal of the Prime Minister of Hungary, “Viktor Orban” for a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine in Christmas. examines

Novosti News agency reported by publishing this article: Last Wednesday, Orban raised the idea of ​​a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine and a Christmas truce with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The plan was also presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky through diplomatic channels but, according to Orban, “he rejected the offer.”

In an interview with the CBA network, Waltz said in response to a request for comment on Orban’s proposed plan: “We have to stop the fighting.” If this is some sort of ceasefire as a first step, we will look into it carefully. However, until January 20 (Trump’s inauguration day), we are also coordinating and cooperating with the current government.
He added that Orban is in contact with Putin and has good relations with Trump, which will be useful for reaching a ceasefire in Ukraine as soon as possible.

Last Thursday, Orban’s chief of staff announced that Putin supported Hungary’s plan to exchange prisoners, but had no reaction to the ceasefire plan.

In this regard, the Kremlin Palace announced that proposals for the exchange of prisoners have been submitted to the Hungarian Embassy in Moscow.

During his election campaign, Trump criticized the multi-billion dollar US support to Ukraine and claimed that he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. However, Trump and his team did not provide details about their plan.

Analysts interpret Trump’s current approach to the issue of Ukraine as indicating that Ukraine may be forced to cede parts of its territory to Russian rule.

Orban, who has close ties to both Putin and Trump, has been outspoken in criticizing EU aid to Ukraine and opposing sanctions against Russia.

According to media reports, Orban was scheduled to conduct a peacekeeping mission in December, which will mark the end of Hungary’s rotating EU presidency.

In July, he began his first peacekeeping mission with a trip to Kiev, carrying a cease-fire proposal to Zelensky that led to a controversial meeting with Putin in Moscow.

Orban then went to China and from there to America to meet with Trump who was still campaigning.

Informed sources have previously said that Orban’s December peace mission will likely include conveying messages from Trump to Zelensky, Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping. However, the details of this program are not yet known.
