Trump’s Big Iran Announcement Raises More Questions Than Answers (ft. Ian Bremmer)
"It feels to me like the Ukrainians are now winning. It doesn't mean that they're going to win, but they've been losing, they were losing for a couple of years, they're now winning. I think that's an enormous benefit for the West. I think that Europe, now that Viktor Orbán is gone and was voted out with a constitutional majority for his former party mate, Peter Magyar, and immediately the Hungarians stop fighting against Europe on supporting Ukraine and say that they're willing to allow the Ukrainians to join The EU, full integration."
Ian Bremmer declared Ukraine has shifted from defense to offense and is now winning territory against Russia, attributing success partly to Elon Musk shutting off Starlink to Russian forces in February. He stated this represents a major turning point after years of Ukrainian losses, with Hungary's new leadership under Peter Magyar ending obstruction and supporting full EU integration for Ukraine, strengthening rather than weakening European unity.
