Viktor Orban

Okay, but it's not the case in Russia. In case of Russia, it's security of the nation. than democracy and other issues, which are important, but the number one is, because it's a too big country, to keep it together, it is number one historical challenge and mission for the leaders. So it's a different mindset again.

So if you have that kind of country and you insult them politically, try to isolate them politically, try to kill them economically, then support his enemy by all the means. And after a few years you say, no, We don't think too much seriously, so come back and cooperate with us. It doesn't work.

So we made a historical mistake, which is decisive for at least 100 years, and based CEMENT, the Chinese-Russian cooperation, for 100 years. So we have to see that kind of block as a block. Probably Russia will make a deal with us on many issues, but we'll never give up that kind of final background, what China means.

If you would be in the shoes of Vladimir Putin, I think you would do the same thing. Never give up that kind of background, which was the real and only background. Can you imagine if the China would not be in that relation with Russia and use the possibility being attacked from West and try to squeeze from the East Russia, you know? But Chinese did not do so.

They said, we don't accept that kind of Western approach to this war. So it's historic. It's not just a war of the decade. It will have an impact for long, long, long, long decades. We will live with that. Even our kids will live in that age. But Russia will never come back to the West as it was. Never again. Sorry to say that. I'm not happy with that because... Russia is too close to Hungary.

And the Ukraine. What is basically, again, the problem? The Russians accepted, in a very difficult way, that Central European countries like my home, Hungary, became members of NATO. They always criticized that move. saying that it's unfair because it was promised.

Nobody knows exactly whether it did happen or not, but it was promised that the ex-Soviet Union-dominated territories will now join NATO. But we did. Good for us anyway. And the Russians started to live with that. In that concept, Ukraine was the buffer zone between NATO and Russia.

And then now, as we started to incorporate more and more Ukraine, first at the military level, developing their army, then even at the diplomatic level to speak about the possible membership of Ukraine to NATO, we converted the buffer zone into a war zone. So it's not anymore a buffer zone. That's the problem. And it's history. It's not about one or two decades issue.
