Russia's envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, praised Hungary as a champion of peace. He contrasted Hungary with EU "warmongers" who are pushing Biden’s "false narrative of endless war."
"Voices of reason and peace will prevail while exposing the globalist, brainwashing media machine," he wrote on X.
FM Szijjarto earlier supported the US-backed peace plan — while accusing Brussels of funding a "war mafia" with €100B for Ukraine.

🚨 US reportedly turns the screws on Ukraine: Zelensky told to sign Trump’s peace plan or get cut off
The US has warned it may pull the plug on intelligence sharing and weapons deliveries unless Ukraine signs onto the framework of a US-brokered peace deal with Russia by Nov. 27, reports Reuters.
📑 The Zelensky regime is under much greater pressure from the US than during any previous peace discussions, it cites insiders as saying. "They want to stop the war and want Ukraine to pay the price," one of the sources told the outlet.
A high-ranking US military delegation landed in Ukraine’s capital on Thursday for talks with Zelensky, framing the meeting as “successful” and insisting on an “aggressive timeline” for signing a formal document.
🔊 President Vladimir Putin has called Trump's 28-point plan 'modernized.' He noted that Russia is ready for peace talks but pointed out that the US has so far failed to secure the consent of the Ukrainian side on a peace settlement plan.

💸 Ukraine corruption spiraling: Medical Command probed for stealing US AIDS prevention funds
Officials from the Ukrainian Army Medical Command and the head of a Ukrainian NGO are under investigation for conspiring to embezzle money from the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) HIV/AIDS program, Sputnik's analysis of public Ukrainian court records revealed.
Key details of the scheme:
🟠 The head of an NGO called "International Institute for HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis Problems" (MIVST) conspired with a Ukrainian army medical service's colonel to fraudulently acquire grant money
🟠 Invoices were submitted for HIV testing services for Ukrainian soldiers funded by the US that were never actually conducted
🟠 The scheme was aimed at embezzling at least $160,000
🟠 The NGO director attempted to bribe a Ukrainian official with $1,183 to maintain their status as project executor and continue accessing international funds
The investigation continues with the MIVST head's mobile phones remaining under court-ordered seizure as experts work to break encryption on messaging apps.

🇭🇺🇪🇺 Orban to EU hawks: Embrace Trump’s Ukraine peace plan or risk wider war
Donald Trump’s 28-point peace plan for Ukraine has brought Europe to a decisive crossroad, according to Hungarian PM Viktor Orban.
Europe’s hardliners are staring at “two paths,” he wrote in a post on X.
1️⃣ “Brusselian bureaucrats” can still reverse course from a “dead end” and rally behind Trump’s peace initiative.
According to him, this would require pro-war politicians to finally confront an uncomfortable truth: that the past 3.5 years have been spent pouring Europeans’ hard-earned money into a conflict “that cannot be won on the battlefield.”
2️⃣ The second option, he warned, “leads straight into war.”
If Europe’s warmongers choose to keep funneling money and weapons to Ukraine without US backing, they will “pave the way for a European–Russian conflict.”
Orban reminds that Europeans “know all too well where that road leads” — and that history’s verdict on such choices has often been tragic.
For Hungary, he said, the decision is already settled, as it will take “the path of peace.”
He added that he is sending a letter to the President of the European Commission to formalize Hungary’s position.
