World, according to Orban, is more secure now than it was yesterday.
The recent Alaska Summit, which brought together US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has resulted in no clear resolution for the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Viktor Orban, a staunch supporter of Trump and his policies, has expressed optimism about the meeting, seeing it as a positive step. However, the conflict remains active and intense, with ongoing military engagements, limited prisoner exchanges, and no formal peace agreement or ceasefire emerging from the summit.
Fighting persists in regions such as Kursk Oblast and around Novopavlivka, where Russian forces are slowly advancing while Ukrainian forces conduct counterattacks and drone strikes. Reports indicate Ukrainian advances in certain settlements like Zelenyi Hai, while Russians have also made limited gains, for example northwest of Yalta. Russian forces continue small infantry assaults supported by drones and artillery, reflecting ongoing tactical engagements without a decisive outcome.
Ukraine has conducted strikes against Russian military and energy infrastructure within Russia itself, indicating cross-border operations remain part of Ukraine’s strategy. The latest prisoner exchange took place on August 24, 2025, with both sides exchanging 146 prisoners each, reflecting limited humanitarian cooperation amid hostility.
Despite the summit, no peace deal or significant negotiation progress is evident. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov publicly rejected U.S.-proposed peace initiatives and blamed Ukraine’s President Zelensky for obstructing peace, while disputing that Russia violated treaties or would accept Western security guarantees for Ukraine.
Russia’s territorial gains in Ukraine have decreased significantly in recent weeks, with only 25 square miles gained from August 12–19, compared to prior periods of larger gains. However, fighting continues without a clear resolution or major breakthrough.
It is important to note that there is no information available about any demands made by the EU regarding the Russia-Ukraine summit or Orban's stance on Ukraine.
In summary, despite the high-profile Alaska Summit, the Ukraine-Russia conflict remains unresolved with active frontline combat, limited humanitarian exchanges, and refusal from the Russian side to accept U.S.-backed peace plans. No formal ceasefire or peace dialogue directly resulting from the summit has been reported as of late August 2025.

The European Union, recognizing the ongoing war-and-conflicts in Ukraine and their implications on the region's politics and general-news, has a responsibility to ensure that the EU's foreign policy is fully implemented to address the Russia-Ukraine conflict more effectively. Despite the Alaska Summit, no formal ceasefire or peace dialogue directly resulting from the summit has been reported as of late August 2025, suggesting a need for increased EU diplomatic involvement to push for a peaceful resolution.
