Reportedly, Orbán's plans have garnered support from 15 countries. Discussions are ongoing about where the potential summit might take place. In addition to Hungary, China, and Brazil, France and Switzerland are also expected to participate.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, European Council President Charles Michel criticized Orbán for his self-declared 'peace mission' regarding Ukraine and reminded him that Hungary's presidency in the EU Council does not grant it any role in representing the European Union on the international stage, nor has it received any mandate to conduct negotiations on behalf of the EU.
