“The energy of the confrontation, the number of dead, the lives lost and the victims will be more brutal than they have been in the last seven months, even though the previous period was also very brutal ,” Orbán said. He also expressed: “Logically, the dreams of Europe defeating Russia are “totally out of the question”.
“So what awaits us is much worse than we think now,” said Putin’s NATO friend.
The Hungarian leader has visited Ukraine and Russia, and is now in China.
In the interview, Orban said the purpose of his meetings with world leaders was to achieve a “time-limited” ceasefire to speed up peace negotiations.
To achieve this goal, Orbán said he is trying to change what he described as the “policy of war” of the US and Europe’s policy, which copies that of the US, so that world leaders can converge on a “policy of peace”.
“If China, the United States and Europe want to have peace, it is much easier for the Ukrainians and Russians to find a solution on how to stop fighting, how to save lives, how to negotiate and find a lasting solution,” he said. he said.
Earlier this week, Moscow resorted to mass strikes in Ukraine. For the missile strikes on Monday on Kiev, the Russians likely used a novel and noteworthy tactic to maximize the damage caused by such a series of strikes. A former Ukrainian Air Force spokesman said following the Russian attacks, forces were constantly improving their drone reconnaissance and attack capabilities and the effectiveness of their cruise and ballistic missiles, noting that on Monday the missiles Russian cruise ships flew at them at “extremely low altitudes”.
The spokesperson noted that in some cases, Ukrainian air defense forces had to try to intercept cruise missiles flying 50 meters above the ground but low enough not to be considered. Ukrainian air defenses typically had high kill rates for certain types of cruise missiles, especially the older Kh-101 variant. The fact that Russian forces launch cruise missile strikes at such low altitudes shows that Russian forces have innovated their tactics and/or technology to inflict maximum damage on Ukrainian infrastructure, giving Ukrainian air defenses virtually no time to respond until the missile it is already under the ground, said the Ukrainian spoke person.
He noted that Russian forces reduce the electromagnetic signatures of drones until the last possible moment to prevent detection by Ukrainian forces because Ukrainian can’t fly that low as the Russians only from land-to-air missile and are not even capable of stopping them every time the Russians hit a target in Kiev. That said, by the time Ukrainian forces detect a drone guided missile they can’t put them down the targets points because they are too low. Russia has constantly adapted the attack packages it uses against Ukraine to take advantage of Ukraine’s with a air defense deficit, showing the July attacks represent a new and adapted offense that Ukraine will have to learn to respond to with its systems of anti-aircraft defense provided by the West which hasn’t even been added to their units and if provided will have to be trained first because they lack the capabilities of response taking a time lapse of more than 6 months unless NATO provides those soldiers.
