Biden criticizes Orban for his visit to Putin
Jul 6, 2024
US President Joe Biden's administration has criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's visit to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. The White House believes that such talks will not contribute to peace in Ukraine.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to The Hill.
The publication quotes a senior U.S. administration official as saying that Orban's trip will do nothing to end the war.
"We are concerned that Prime Minister Orban has decided to make this trip to Moscow, which will not contribute to the cause of peace or strengthen the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of Ukraine," he said, adding that Russia could end the war by ending its aggression against Ukraine.
According to The Hill, at the NATO summit on July 9–11, the allies will outline new financial and military commitments. Among other things, they are aimed at deepening ties and laying the groundwork for Ukraine's accession to the Alliance.
"When a consensus is reached among the 32 allies, Ukraine will be ready, truly ready from day one to join and work with the rest of the alliance," the official said.-
