Media: Resolution condemning Orban's Moscow visit could escalate Ukrainian conflict

The recent resolution adopted by the European Parliament condemning Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's visit to Moscow may exacerbate tensions in the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.

An article published in foreign media characterized the resolution as a manifestation of political hubris, exacerbated frustration stemming from perceived powerlessness, and an increased propensity towards aggression, Caliber.Az reports.

The article's authors emphasized that the resolution represents a blatant violation of established EU treaties and the union's unified foreign policy stance.

They further underscored concerns that such actions could potentially destabilize the delicate geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe.

The dissatisfaction with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban arose primarily due to his visit to Moscow, which occurred during Hungary's EU Council presidency.

Orban's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow drew criticism from several European Union member states and EU officials.

The visit was seen as problematic because it occurred at a time when the EU has maintained a policy of sanctions and diplomatic pressure on Russia, particularly in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine and other geopolitical concerns.
