Budapest, 16 August 2025 (dpa/MIA) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has welcomed the outcome of Friday's meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

"For years, we watched as the two largest nuclear powers dismantled the foundations of their cooperation ... That is now over," he wrote on his Facebook page.

"The world is a safer place today than it was yesterday. May there never be a worse weekend!" Orbán added in response to the summit, which produced no immediate tangible results.

Trump and Putin ended their meeting without commenting on a possible ceasefire in the Ukraine war – the focus of the talks.

Orbán, who has ruled Hungary in a semi-authoritarian manner for over 15 years, is considered a loyal supporter of Trump and his policies.

He also supports aspects of Putin's war against Ukraine by demanding peace through surrender by the country, which borders Hungary to the east.
