Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has offered a prediction about the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, suggesting it could conclude by the end of 2025. This timeframe is contingent on the outcome of key political elections in Europe and the United States, according to a statement he made on his Facebook page.
Orbán emphasized that the 2025 deadline hinges on the electoral success of peace-seeking candidates in the upcoming European Parliament elections. The U.S. presidential elections also play a crucial role, he noted, adding that,
"Next year, if all goes well and God helps us, political leaders who advocate for peace can come to the forefront in Europe and America, then we can end the war by the end of the year."
Calls for Change in EU Leadership
In addition to his forecasts about the conflict in Ukraine, Orbán has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the current leadership of the European Union (EU). He has accused the EU's leadership of leading Europe into economic decline and suggested that the best course of action for them would be to "pack their bags and leave."
Orbán's comments come at a time when the EU faces multiple challenges, including economic strains and a complex geopolitical landscape. His critical stance on the EU's current administration aligns with his broader political strategy, which often includes advocating for significant shifts in European governance.
The implications of Orbán's predictions are significant. If his envisioned scenario unfolds, it could lead to a dramatic shift in international relations and potentially pave the way for a resolution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, as with all predictions tied to political outcomes, the actual unfolding of events remains uncertain.
