Orbán says Ukraine should be “buffer zone” outside EU and NATO

"Orban says what his paymaster tells him to."

Um, didn't they already try that? And then Russia invaded anyway.

Why not take Hungary as buffer zone instead?

If you allow Russia to take over that buffer zone then you won't have a buffer zone. So you better ensure it surives

How about instead of a buffer zone we just make Russia stay within its own borders?
