A top European Union official rebuked Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Tuesday after he launched a self-styled Ukraine "peace mission" that included talks with Donald Trump and the leaders of Russia and China without EU backing.
Orban told fellow leaders of the 27-nation bloc in a letter that Trump, the U.S. Republican presidential candidate, is ready to act "immediately" as a peace broker in the Russia-Ukraine war if he is elected in November.
"The rotating Presidency of the Council has no role in representing the Union on the international stage and received no European Council mandate to engage on behalf of the Union," Michel told Orban in a letter seen by Reuters.
