Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor
Orban's visits to Russia and China in a bid to achieve peace in
Ukraine should be praised rather than criticised, rightwing
League party Senate Whip Massimiliano Romeo said Wednesday.
Some 15 EU countries have moved to strip Hungary of the Union's
rotating presidency, which it has just taken over, because of
Orban's unilateral initiative.
Romeo said: "It is now clear that a war that no one can win
unless you want to make it last ad infinitum, with all the
consequences that that entails in terms of deaths and arms
spending, the only path can only be diplomacy and the search for
a truce.
"Many European countries, instead of rending their garments at
those who attempt mediation like Orban is doing should praise
certain initiatives.
"Like it or not, you have to talk to the belligerent States if
you want to reach a truce.
"Not many wars end in unconditional surrender"
