The ongoing war in Ukraine, now three years since Russia's invasion, has spurred the growth of anti-establishment and far-right movements across Europe.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has expressed hope for a peace agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, which he believes could lead to Russia's reintegration into the global economy and European security frameworks.

The outcomes of crucial elections in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Romania later this year could significantly alter the dynamics of this division in Europe.

A significant division is forming in Europe, with some nations like Poland and the Baltic states committed to resisting Russian aggression, while others, including Hungary and Slovakia, lean towards appeasement of Putin's regime.

Hungary and Slovakia currently represent the appeasement camp, with the possibility of Bulgaria and Serbia, which have historical ties to Russia, joining this faction.

Public fatigue over the conflict and concerns about potential escalation are currently benefiting Moscow's position and weakening the European Union's collective response.
