Russia does not threaten NATO, but there should be buffer zone in Ukraine — Orban

The Hungarian prime minister said that it would be ideal for Ukraine to create a buffer zone with security guarantees.

There is no risk of a Russian attack on a NATO member country, Orban said. Speaking about Ukraine, he also noted that Moscow would never agree to that country’s admission to NATO because this would bring the alliance closer to Russia's borders.

The Hungarian prime minister suggested taking a look at the political map and said that it would be ideal for Ukraine, as Russia's near neighbor, to create a buffer zone with security guarantees, because if that did not happen, Ukrainians could lose their country altogether.

Schuessel disagreed, arguing that the West should immediately start negotiations with Ukraine on its admission not only to the European Union but also to NATO.

Europe is in ‘pre-war era’ – NATO country’s PM

The world is now facing the most critical moment since the end of World War II, the Polish prime minister has said.

Europe has entered a “pre-war era” in which any scenario is possible and the threat of war is no longer a thing of the past, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in an interview with European media outlets on Friday.

Tusk was asked whether war is inevitable in light of recent remarks from a number of Western politicians about Russia potentially attacking NATO. He replied that “literally any scenario is possible.”

“I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a thing of the past. It is real and in fact it started over two years ago,” Tusk said.

“I understand that it will sound devastating, especially to the younger generation, but we have to mentally prepare for the arrival of a new era. We are in a pre-war era. I am not exaggerating.”

"We all aspire to a more peaceful world," he said in his Easter video address to the nation.

"We are also doing this for our sake, for our security," he insisted.

Germany is the second-largest arms supplier to Ukraine after the US. Berlin has so far allocated some €28 bln in military aid to Kiev and future commitments. The Russian side has repeatedly stressed that arms supplies to the Kiev regime would only prolong the conflict in Ukraine.

Zelensky changes stance on talks with Russia

The Ukrainian leader has said that a return to the 2022 status quo would be enough to kick off negotiations with Moscow.

President Vladimir Zelensky has indicated that a return to Ukraine’s 1991 borders is no longer a precondition for holding peace talks with Moscow, even as he continues to push forward with his own ‘peace formula’, which has been dismissed by the Kremlin as absurd.

Zelensky banned all negotiations with the current leadership in Moscow in 2022, after four former Ukrainian regions voted overwhelmingly to join Russia. Since then, he has been rallying Western support for his ten-point formula, which includes the full withdrawal of Russian troops and a return to Ukraine’s 1991 borders, including Crimea, as well as forcing Moscow to pay reparations, among other conditions.

However, in an interview with CBS this week, Zelensky suggested there is no need to recapture the territory exclusively by military means.
