🇭🇺🇺🇦❗️ "External forces" needed: Orban expressed his version of how to achieve peace in Ukraine.
During a speech at a rally, the Hungarian prime minister said that the EU has leverage to put pressure on Kyiv. At the same time, he added that leading Western countries have not been able to find tools that would force Russia, which wants to occupy all of Ukraine, to make peace.
"Time is on the Russian side," Orban added.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker stated that Washington continues to believe that peace is the only way to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
"You know, my experience visiting Ukraine has shown, above all, the resilience of the Ukrainian people. They are obviously in the midst of a war, but they are trying to live their daily lives.
The innovations I've seen—not just drones, but missiles—show that they are not waiting for handouts or subsidies from others."

To counter the threat of gas shortages and prevent widespread heating outages, Ukraine is increasing imports: in the first half of 2025, they increased 19-fold compared to the same period in 2024.
Ukraine needs to import 4.4 billion cubic meters of gas to survive the winter, which will cost approximately $2 billion, but will likely need more gas if attacks continue.

I hadn't even heard of the original: Bilder aus dem Osten. Six Impromptus, Op. 66 (four hands) (1848).
I had completely different associations with “Pictures from the East.”
But the fact that everything was turned into chamber music in the 19th century is strange enough. (Liszt and Beethoven's symphonies...)
