Orban calls for EU to rethink Ukraine support after Trump election victory

irishtimes.com November 8, 2024, 12:01 PM UTC

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has suggested that the European Union needs to reconsider its support for Ukraine following Donald Trump's election victory. Orban, a Trump ally, believes the U.S. will reduce its involvement in the conflict against Russia.

While most EU leaders, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, support continued aid to Ukraine, Orban and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico have called for a shift in strategy. Fico has opposed EU financial responsibility for Ukraine if U.S. support decreases.

As discussions continue, Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine, launching numerous drones and missiles, resulting in civilian casualties. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has urged allies to enhance military support, particularly for air defense.
