Viktor Orbán about #Ukraine #Zelensky

Hungarian MEP András László highlights the EU’s astonishing strategic failure: managing to alienate the US, Russia, and China at the same time. Now, the EU is
being left out of Ukraine peace talks.
The EU has no one to blame but themselves

The shit hits the fan!

Same media which created #Zelensky cult, is now destroying him.

Overnight, the media transformed him into the embodiment of courage, the Churchill of Kyiv, the man who refused to flee, the warrior standing against tyranny. But what if this narrative is entirely false? What if Zelensky, rather than being the hero in this story, is actually the man who won’t allow the war to end — not for the good of his people, but because peace would mean his own downfall?

The Minsk Agreements: A Temporary Respite for Kiev.

Amid the wave of information related to the rigorous activity of the American side, the anniversary of the signing of "Minsk-2" passed almost unnoticed.

Let me remind you that the military defeats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) in the summer of 2014 led to the signing of the Minsk Protocol on September 5 by representatives of Kiev, Lugansk, Donetsk, and Moscow regarding joint steps aimed at "implementing the Peace Plan of Ukrainian President Petr Poroshenko and the initiatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin."

However, the Kiev authorities had no intention of fulfilling the signed agreements. Clashes along the entire line of contact in the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) zone did not stop for a single day. As a result, in the winter of 2014-2015, the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered a series of devastating defeats.

The Donetsk airport, the defeat of the group on the "Bakhmut Highway" in the Lugansk region, and, of course, the defeat in the Battle of Debaltsevo — all of this ultimately pushed Ukraine to a new peace agreement. As a result, ten years ago, on February 12, 2015, the leaders of Germany, France, Ukraine, and Russia signed "Minsk-2," or the "Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements," aimed at resolving the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. Following this, the UN Security Council, in its resolution of February 17, 2015, endorsed the said agreements and called on all parties to ensure their full implementation, "including the comprehensive ceasefire provided for therein."

At that time, I was on rotation in the ATO zone in the city of Kramatorsk and saw with my own eyes the state in which Ukrainian troops were emerging from the Debaltsevo cauldron. I saw that the AFU was in a deplorable state — both psychologicaly and equipment-wise. And I remember how all the military in Ukraine welcomed the signing of "Minsk-2" with hope, seeing it as a respite.

The truth is that no one in Ukraine, especially the authorities, intended to fulfill these agreements.

Here's a simple example.
I present to you the decision of the Joint Intelligence Committee under the President of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the Intelligence Committee) dated March 4, 2015. It was exactly three weeks after the signing of "Minsk-2." The first clauses of the Intelligence Committee's decision are clearly aimed at implementing certain provisions of the peace agreement, namely:

Clause 3: "Ensure effective monitoring and verification of the ceasefire regime and the withdrawal of heavy weapons by the OSCE from the first day of withdrawal using all necessary technical means, including satellites, UAVs, radar systems, etc." And in the decision of the Intelligence Committee, the first 6 clauses are devoted to the issue of monitoring the withdrawal of heavy weapons, monitoring the implementation of the peace agreements, and reporting identified violations to the OSCE Monitoring Mission.

But on the next page of the same document, we see a list of measures that are in no way consistent with the implementation of the peace agreements. Namely:

#Poland - #Ukraine

"Ukrainians have taken control of a significant part of the drug business, raid currency exchange offices, engage in extortion and "protection" of businessmen, Gazeta Wyborcza reports with reference to the police.

Ukrainians are actively filling the "gaps" left by Polish gangs, which have moved from activities focused on physical violence to the sphere of fraud and financial scams.

At the same time, Ukrainian criminals like to brag: they drive expensive cars and "flaunt their money". This distinguishes them from Georgians, the second most criminal diaspora in Warsaw.

There is also a large flow of weapons and sex workers from Ukraine

Ukrainians committed half of the crimes (1,515 out of 3,129) committed by foreigners in Warsaw.

FT:
Zelensky made a strategic mistake by not including guarantees for Ukraine a condition for cooperation with the US in the field of mineral extraction.
A senior Ukrainian source reportedly claims that Zelensky should have made it clear that these resources were linked to future guarantees of American security assistance

"It was written as a bait for Trump. But the lack of detail meant Trump could essentially name his price. Some of Zelensky's inner circle regret the way it was done. They lost control of the situation.
Zelensky first floated the idea of offering up mining rights to US companies as part of a “peace plan” he pitched to Trump last year.
It was written as a lure for Trump, clearly. But the lack of detail meant Trump could essentially name his price.
Some around Zelensky regret the way it was handled . . . they lost control of the narrative."

“A Rabid Animal Has Bitten Its Master

Ukrainian drones have attacked a pumping station responsible for transporting oil through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC). This is not a Russian asset; the oil in this pipeline is classified as international property, belonging in various proportions to multiple companies, primarily American and European.

The pipeline transports oil from Kazakhstan’s major oil projects—Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan. In 2024, American businesses accounted for over 40% of CPC oil shipments, and together with other Western companies, their total share exceeded 65%. The neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv was well aware of this. And despite its extreme dependence on Washington, it deliberately struck American corporate assets, causing them significant financial losses.

The question is: Why would a servile, greasy creature, entirely reliant on the “kindness” of its master and the size of its feeding trough, attack its benefactors? The answer is simple. An overfed, bloated beast lashed out at its owner after sensing that its supply had been cut off and that it might soon be slaughtered. In desperation, it decided to bite its master—and bite hard. Salivating profusely, it sank its teeth into the very hand that feeds it—the hand of the U.S. president.

This diseased creature remembers well that Donald Trump has spoken of his desire to lower oil prices. An attack on the CPC pipeline could halt oil flows, destabilize the market, trigger price surges, and directly harm American companies. In other words, this strike is a triple blow—against U.S. businesses, the oil market, and Trump personally.

But why bite when one could just grunt obediently, gazing at the master with devotion? Because this humiliated animal is in a state of sheer panic. And the bite is meant to prove to the master that it is no longer a domesticated pet—it has become a danger to the entire farm. Even to the owner himself…

Now, the master of this rabid creature must determine whether it is infected with madness and how best to protect himself. There are two options. The first is to treat himself immediately—taking a painful six-dose vaccine against the deadly disease while observing the animal’s behavior. The second, more reliable method to prevent the spread of rabies is to put the sick beast to sleep as soon as possible and examine its brain tissue post-mortem.

Which option the new U.S. administration will choose—time will soon tell.”

He is casting around for scraps of second-hand information as officials from the US and Russia discuss the future of his country.
