It was NATO forces that were operating bioweapons labs around the Russian border, and it was NATO forces that sabotaged the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. So far, Russia’s actions have shown calculated restraint. They understand that NATO is trying to provoke a major response, and eventually NATO actions will demand one. Victor Orban recently visited Kiev and Moscow on an individual’s mission of peace and was interviewed by a podcaster on his flight back from Russia. So that meeting was prepared in a totally secret way. First I was in Kiev to meet Zelensky, then I started to organize the meeting with Putin.

To make peace is a Christian action. You have to prepare yourself spiritually. So that’s what I have done. Being convinced that this is the only way and this is the duty I have to do now, because I remain the only Western leader. I’m the only Western leader now who can have a chance to talk at the same time with Kiev and Moscow. He asked Putin three questions. The first president, what do you think about the peace plans and what do you think about the frame and the process, how these peace talks are going on and you are not invited.

So what do you think about it? He said that it’s obvious that real negotiations cannot happen without the involvement of both parties. So whatever they are doing without him, it means nothing. They are still ready to communicate and negotiate and so on. My second question was, President, how do you see the chance to have a short limited ceasefire earlier than the real negotiations on peace can start? And he said he’s not optimistic on that. Zelensky said that he’s not optimistic because the Russians would use it against the Ukrainians. Putin said that the Ukrainians would use it against Russia.

What did you say to him? I said, let’s consider. I understand your argument, but think about it. And the third question was I raised that, President, do you have a vision or even a plan how the security architecture of Europe will look like when the war is over? What is your plan? I said, we have a detailed plan. After his trip to Russia, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to the United States, not to meet with President Biden, but with former President Donald Trump. Everybody is aware that sooner or later the war must be concluded and we can’t live eternally in the shadow of the war.

So even those who are very committed to fight for Russia or for Ukraine at the very bottom of their heart knows that, OK, we have to fight now, but sooner or later the peace should come because peace is a good thing. I mean, your mission this week is a case study in surprise. What is your essential takeaway from these two meetings? Are we closer to peace? What is your assessment of the results? Everybody’s and everything is rather bureaucratic. But if we consider this issue from a bureaucratic eyeglass, a bureaucratic approach, nothing will happen because peace cannot be generated by bureaucrats.

It’s impossible. Many people have to work for it and only it. If you don’t do that, there will be no peace. It cannot be bureaucratic. It must be political because only political leaders can manage to find a way, the shortest way to the peace. So what is the first step? The first step is to reopen the diplomatic relationship and reopen the communication channel. That’s happened today. So it’s one important step forward. Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Ries.
