The visit to the Kremlin comes immediately after Orban and Kiev’s mission and marks the beginning of Hungary’s rotating presidency of the EU. When asked about it, Hungarian government sources neither confirmed nor denied the news. It is the first visit by a European Union leader since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine.

Ukraine: Michel, Orban did not send EU to meet Putin
“The rotating EU presidency has no mandate to engage with Russia on behalf of the EU. The European Council is clear: Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine is the victim. No discussion on Ukraine can take place without Ukraine.” This is what the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, wrote in X, regarding a meeting scheduled for tomorrow between Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
