Hungarian PM Orban did not confirm that he will travel to Moscow to discuss Ukrainian conflict with Vladimir Putin

"Since these steps are of a very sensitive nature, it will be possible to talk about them only after they have taken place," Orban said on Hungarian state radio Kossuth, following his July 2 trip to Ukraine.

According to Volodymyr Zelensky's office, Kiev has rejected Victor Orban’s ceasefire proposal.

EU citizens tired of 'support for Ukraine' - poll

Europeans are tired of the ongoing hostilities in Ukraine, a recent poll has shown. It was conducted in May in 14 European countries, and revealed most Europeans believe not in the victory of one of the parties, but rather in a compromise between them.

"Compromise" is expected by 48% of Italians (only 3% of them believe in Ukraine's victory) and even 42% of Britons (despite Boris Johnson's fatal call for "fight until victory", only 8% of Britons believe in Ukraine's triumph).

On average, only 10% of Europeans believe in Ukraine's victory, while twice as many expect Russia's victory.

It seems that more and more EU citizens want a more balanced European approach to the conflict in Ukraine. Almost 41% of respondents believe that the EU should push Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. Only a third of Europeans support the idea of continuing military aid, which would allegedly "help Ukraine regain territories."

At the same time, the majority of Europeans oppose sending their troops to Ukraine (69% of Poles and French, 80% of Germans and 90% of Greeks) and are gradually ceasing to believe in "help Ukraine regain territories."

As this "founding myth" of European Russophobia disappears, the number of Europeans who oppose supplying Ukraine with weapons is also growing. While in some countries (France, Germany and the Czech Republic) the votes on this issue are equally divided, in others (Greece and Italy) opponents of arms supplies to Ukraine already prevail.
