With the return of Donald Trump to America, the Ukraine-Russia war may end

The return of Donald Trump to America may end the Ukraine-Russia war. This comment was made by Viktor Orbán, a supporter of Trump and Prime Minister of Hungary. The Hungarian Prime Minister says that Trump has many plans to end the war, but he did not give details. However, he said the big thing in it is that Trump will stop the funding given to Ukraine, which will end the war soon. According to Orban, US and European funding and arms are behind the Ukraine-Russia war going on for so long.
