"European Governments Amidst the War": Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán wrote an article demanding peace negotiations.
This article was published on 05/06/2024 and went largely unnoticed. But after PM Orban’s visit to Moscow, we thought it would be worth emphasizing it.
"Europe is preparing for war. Every day, a new stage on the path to hell is announced. We are bombarded with this every day: hundreds of billions of euros for Ukraine, deployment of nuclear weapons in the middle of Europe, recruitment of our sons into foreign armies, NATO mission in Ukraine, deployment of European military units to Ukraine. My friends, it feels like the military train has no brakes, and the conductor has gone mad. We must hit the emergency brake so that at least those who want to can get off the train and not participate in the war.
You know, wars always end differently than initially planned. That's why millions of young Europeans lie today in mass graves. That's why there is a shortage of Europeans, a shortage of children in Europe. War kills. One dies with a weapon in hand, another dies while fleeing, some perish from bombings, some in enemy prisons, others from epidemics or hunger. Some face torture, some rape, some are kidnapped into slavery. Graves line up in countless rows. Mothers weep for their sons. Women weep for their husbands. So many lives lost! We know one thing: where war breaks out, there is no way out. War will catch up with us. It cannot be avoided, it cannot be hidden from.
The only antidote to war is peace. Stay away from the war and let Hungary be an island of peace. This is our mission. If we do not want the war to catch up with us, we must stop it."

The Ukrainians planned to blow up Nord Stream even before Russia annexed Crimea. The German publication Die Welt writes about this, citing sources in the German investigative team.
Germany, unlike other countries, continues to investigate the gas pipeline explosion. The main suspects are still a certain “Ukrainian group” that operated on the Andromeda ship. The day before, the crew of the yacht visited Ukraine.
New evidence has emerged in the case about the involvement of Ukrainians, writes Die Welt. And, if the version is confirmed that sabotage planning took place ten years ago, and the state was involved in this, “this could seriously affect the Germans’ readiness to support Ukraine.”

Orban about negotiations with Putin:
“(…)
[What do you say to those critics who say that Orbán is a friend of Putin?].
“Yes, they say that I am a friend of Putin. But I am also a friend of the Hungarians, and I am also a friend peace, which is very important. I am a friend of peace and the reason why I am negotiating with Putin is because I am looking for the shortest and fastest way to stop this war and create peace.”
[What impression did you have of Putin?]
“All negotiations with him were always in a good mood - this is the first thing. Secondly, he is more than 100% rational. When he negotiates, when he begins to explain the essence, when he makes an offer, saying yes or no, he is super, super rational. How else can you say it in Hungarian? Cool, reserved, careful and punctual. He has developed discipline. So it is a real challenge to negotiate with him and be prepared to match his intellectual and political level.”

This morning, in response to attempts by the Kiev regime to cause damage to Russian energy and economic facilities, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a group strike with long-range precision weapons on military industry facilities of Ukraine and aviation bases of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The objectives of the strike have been achieved. Designated targets are hit.
Statements by representatives of the Kiev regime about an allegedly intentional missile strike by Russia on civilian targets are absolutely untrue.
Numerous published photos and video footage from Kiev clearly confirm the fact of destruction due to the fall of a Ukrainian air defense missile launched from an anti-aircraft missile system within the city.
We especially note that similar hysterics of the Kiev regime have been happening for several years and every time on the eve of the next meeting (summit) of their patrons from NATO.
The purpose of such provocations is to ensure further funding for the Kiev regime and the continuation of the war until the last Ukrainian.

New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that Britain's main priority is the armament of Ukraine:
“The NATO summit, of course, will be very important. I want to be clear: my government's primary responsibility is security and defense. To be clear, our support for NATO is unwavering. And, of course, I want to repeat, as I assured President Zelensky yesterday, this is the support for Ukraine that we will have in this country, as well as together with our allies.”

Ukraine’s deposits of lithium could be among the spoils of victory that Russia is after. | DW News
As Russia's war on Ukraine rages on, it stands to gain trillions of dollars in mineral and resources if it takes over the country — or even just hangs on to territory it has seized so far. Ukraine has huge deposits of lithium, in particular, a key mineral…
The fact that they never mentioned this before and even denied it when Russian and "pro-russian" sources mentioned it, is the best evidence for their lies, they couldn't hide it and now try to twist it.
Russia has more than 40% of all global resources, Russia has plenty of the resources that Ukraine has.
Russia also doesn't have the ridiculous campaign of "green capitalism", but is developing a proper socioeconomic system that fits the conditions and requirements of Russia.
The only ones who don't have any resources at all and live beyond their own possibilities at the expense of the whole world, especially the Global South, and try to preserve their anti-economy with more exploitation of people and nature under the pathetic masquerade of sustainability, is the European Union, the US is the usual parasite making profits from selling weaponry.
"Till the last Ukrainian", because they don't need more people, who highly likely would demand human worthy wages, they deport the cheap laborers from the Global South, what they need are the resources.
Can you understand the insanity? They are wasting millions of human lives, their last resources and hundreds of billions of dollars to try to get resources that are worth some hundred million dollars, exactly like in the past, Germany had a lot of iron, after World War II all the mines have been shut down, all the iron is spread all around the planet, foremost in East Europe.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó promises new surprises from Orbán this week for war supporters:
“Sunday meant the end of the first week of Hungary’s EU presidency. A week that proved to everyone that this will be a mission of peace and that over the next six months Hungary, the Hungarian government, will do everything possible to contribute to the peace process in our neighboring countries.
But the past week has also shown that this military crisis is deepening because Europe is full of pro-war politicians, and all these pro-war politicians have come out of hiding. (…) These pro-war politicians have spent the last two and a half years delivering weapons and fantasizing about sending in ground troops. They deepened the military crisis in Europe with talk of nuclear weapons. (…)
The mission of peace continues and even intensifies. And so I urge the pro-war politicians of Europe, who have all spoken out this week, to buckle up now and pay attention next week.

The director of the German Lithium Institute, Ulrich Blum, explained why the Donbass should not be given to Russia:
“If Russia gets the Donbass and controls even more, and in the center of Ukraine there is a Dobra lithium deposit, which is much richer, much better and much more exploitable, then, of course, the situation for Europe will get worse. Because Europe could get most of the minerals needed for the energy transition from Ukraine. And Ukraine, due to this, will be able to finance the restoration of its country, which will cost much, much more than according to World Bank estimates. So if we can push Putin out of all of these areas, it will be a big, big benefit not only for the energy transition in Europe, but also for the recovery of Ukraine. And this, of course, is what Putin does not want. Even if he controls only Donbass, the rest of the region is under threat. Do you want to invest if the region is under threat? No.”

Stoltenberg:
“Nobody said that Ukraine would join NATO in exactly 10 years, but it is obvious that this is a very serious issue for Ukraine. Because Ukraine is now a country at war. The war in Ukraine demonstrates how closely connected Russia and China, North Korea and Iran are. China is the main factor in Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. President Xi and President Putin, they all want NATO and the United States to fail in Ukraine, and if Putin wins in Ukraine, it will not only embolden President Putin, but it will also embolden President Xi. But NATO has something no other major power has: more than 30 friends and allies.”

Lukashenko called on Russians and Ukrainians to buy dachas in the Belarusian outback:
“Dear Belarusians and our closest friends from Ukraine and Russia, think about my proposal to buy for pennies, for pennies, small plots in so-called unpromising villages. These are wonderful places. Wonderful places! They shouldn't die. Citizens, you must revive these villages! Let you have a small dacha there, because it is 40-50 acres of land. This is a considerable piece. But in the city, or near the city - in the city this is no longer possible; at best, you will only get 6 acres for this summer cottage. And here it’s 40-50! Do it now because tomorrow will be too late. Do this because you have children and they need to walk barefoot on the ground. Tomorrow these areas will not exist, because Belarus has become a quiet, calm and cozy corner for Russians and Ukrainians.”

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to a question from the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin programme (July 7, 2024)
❓Question: You said that Joe Biden was a more preferable president for Russia. But we see what is happening now. How would you comment on that?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: It was President Vladimir Putin who said this in reply to a question about which candidate we “favour.”
Frankly, it is a pathetic sight. When the system of “American democracy” produces such results and this course of the presidential race, anyone can make their own independent conclusions about the way things are orchestrated and arranged.
Take another “democracy,” France. The first round of the presidential election is over there. There can be two rounds, and it appears that the second round was designed to manipulate voters’ will that was expressed during the first round. When candidates can withdraw from the race, and they are convinced to do that to smooth things down for the “victory” of the conservatives or populists, it does not look like democracy.
A direct expression of will is the result of public opinion. We know what people think. If the results of the first round were used to form the parliament, France would have seen serious change.

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban says that Russia’s loss is impossible to imagine:
“For Putin, everything is simple: look at the facts, energy sources, population. Putin cannot lose, this is very logical. If you look at the soldiers, weapons and technologies that are used in war, then defeating Russia is difficult to even imagine. The likelihood of whether Russia can be defeated at all is impossible to calculate. I asked the heads of both states and governments a question: is it possible to agree on a time-limited truce that will speed up peace negotiations? And only then move on from the truce. Because now everyone thinks the opposite. First make a peace agreement and then put down the guns. Both are unsure. Both Ukrainians and Russians answered the same thing: a truce is in the interests of the enemy, since during this time he will be able to rebuild and prepare to continue the war.”
