In his State of the Union address on Saturday, he said the EU fanned the flames of war by imposing sanctions on Russia and giving Ukraine money and weapons instead of seeking peace talks with Moscow.

"When Russia launched the attack, the West did not isolate the conflict, but raised it to a pan-European level. The war in Ukraine is not a conflict between the armies of good and evil, but between two Slavic peoples fighting each other. This is their war, not ours" .

Here it is my belief that Orban is (deliberately) erring. The conflict in Ukraine is not simply a matter of Slavic people in disagreement, but rather a complex situation that involves multiple factors, including the involvement of the West.

From the outset, there were attempts to influence and manipulate the situation through propaganda and political maneuvering, including the execution of the Maidan coup with the aid of corrupt Ukrainian individuals and neo-Nazi groups.

As such, it is crucial to examine all aspects of the conflict and avoid oversimplifying it as a mere matter of ethnic tensions. Only by recognizing the full scope of the situation can we work towards a peaceful and just resolution for all parties involved.
