APPLEBAUM: Orbán now serves as Putin’s puppet in Europe. He blocks EU money to Ukraine, blocks sanctions on Russia, spreads Russian propaganda about Ukraine. No surprise that Russia supports him. The real surprise is that JD Vance is going to Hungary to endorse him.

What he actually says is that the U.S. is pushing Ukraine to surrender, while Europe helps Ukraine survive when we refuse to comply. What he calls “peace” is occupation and genocide carried out in silence, hidden behind the veil of russian rule.

Orbán: "If the Europeans, Especially Brussels, would not be blocking the peace efforts of Trump, peace would have been reinstated in Ukraine for a long time already."

VOLKER: Ukraine now probably covers 60 to 70 percent of its own defense needs. They've re-engineered the war around low-cost drones that are hard to track, hard to shoot down, operate at long distances, and continuously innovated to evade Russia's detection and countermeasures.
