Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky literally cornered Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. According to the footage, it wasn’t exactly a friendly conversation. In the European Union, Hungary is the main obstacle to help Ukraine resisting the Russian invasion, Viktor Orbán does not want to renounce relations with Russia.

The question is whether Orbán would meet with Zelensky voluntarily. However, both arrived at the inauguration of Argentine President Javier Milei, who took office on Sunday. Milei is considered a far-right politician or a populist, in that he may resemble Orbán to a certain extent. For example, the left-wing presidents of Mexico and Brazil did not arrive at the inauguration, but former ruler Jair Bolsonaro, nicknamed the Brazilian Trump, came from the latter.

However, Milei and Orbán have different opinions on a number of other things, including the war in Ukraine. Was it a coincidence that Viktor Orbán was given a place in the corner in the meeting order, with no possibility of escape, so that Zelenskyy could “board” him?

“On the sidelines of the inauguration, I spoke with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, it was a very straightforward conversation focused on our European affairs,” stated Zelensky briefly after the event. He did not say more, the photo and video show that they frowned at each other, but shook hands.
