Standard: Did the Hungarian government allow itself to be drawn into Trump's propaganda goals?

Hanna Notte, a political analyst, argues that if Putin were wise, he would agree to a ceasefire, as European governments struggle to convey the war's dangers to their citizens. She believes Russia aims to weaken Ukrainian civil society during winter to force concessions from Kyiv in spring. Notte suggests that any change in Russia's stance would likely stem from internal political reasons rather than external pressure, despite sanctions gradually weakening the Russian economy. The Kremlin may exploit Ukraine's internal crises and bolster populist parties in Europe. Notte emphasizes that Putin continues the war to assert Russia's influence and believes in a systemic battle for a new world order, despite the growing gap between his views and reality, which could make Russian foreign policy more dangerous. She concludes that avoiding war in the next 5-10 years is crucial.
