On Monday, Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrived in Beijing after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a potential Ukrainian peace deal, which angered some EU leaders. 

Orban wrote on his X account that he was on a "Peace Mission 3.0".

Meeting with Zelensky, Putin

His visit to China comes after his recent visit to Kiev, where he held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and also went to the Kremlin on a visit condemned by his allies. 

Following his meeting with the Russian president, EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen wrote on her X account: "Appeasement will not stop Putin."

Orban's visit also comes days ahead of a NATO summit that is expected to address further aid to Ukraine, as the European Commission is set to impose tariffs of up to 37.6% on imports of electric vehicles made in China. 

On that note, earlier last month, the Bucharest Nine, a club of Eastern European and Baltic NATO nations, was contemplating kicking out Hungary for refusing to agree on the same policies toward Ukraine, the Financial Times said, citing sources.

Founded in 2015, the club includes Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and a gathering of its leaders is scheduled to take place in Riga, Latvia, on Tuesday.

Hungary's refusal to support joint statements for sending military aid to Ukraine against Russia is the reason why the group is considering this option, insider sources told the Financial Times.

As the Draconian Western-led sanctions on Russia exacerbate the economic crisis worldwide, and as Russian troops gain more ground despite the influx of military aid into Ukraine, exposing US direct involvement in bio-labs spread across Eastern Europe and the insurgence of neo-Nazi groups… How will things unfold?
