PM Orban Warns: Europe Is in Trouble

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is demanding further financial support from Europe—and wants to seize frozen Russian assets across the continent. But Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that such a move would have dangerous consequences for Europe.

Meanwhile, Zelensky has also sought to involve U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to press Chinese leader Xi Jinping to reduce Beijing’s support for Moscow during their upcoming meeting.

“I believe that could be one of his strongest moves—especially if, after such a decisive sanction step, China agrees to cut imports from Russia,” Zelensky said.

I think this may be one of his strongest moves—especially if, after such a decisive sanctions step, China agrees to cuts imports from Russia,

Zelensky remarked.

President Trump last week imposed sanctions on two major Russian oil companies and is pressuring Moscow’s key energy buyers—including China and India—to scale back imports that are helping finance Russia’s invasion.

Despite these efforts, Zelensky and his government appear increasingly desperate, as Russian forces continue their relentless advance. The Ukrainian President himself admitted that Russian troops have gained a foothold in Pokrovsk, a key railway hub in eastern Ukraine.

Around 200 Russian soldiers are currently positioned there in various locations—we can see this through drones. Pokrovsk is now Russia’s main target,

Zelensky acknowledged.
