In a press release, Fernand Kartheiser said Ukraine had no chance of winning the war with Russia on a military level, so the conflict could only be resolved diplomatically. As a consequence, the ADR MEP said he supported Hungarian prime minister Victor Orban’s efforts to seek dialogue with Moscow and Beijing, as well as his meeting with Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Kartheiser said he did not want a new Cold War and said the EU should consider its own responsibility in the origins of the conflict in Ukraine.
