Europe wonā€™t be able to finance Ukraineā€™s defenses against Russiaā€™s invasion on its own if the US withdraws support under Donald Trumpā€™s next presidency, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday.

Orban said recent events vindicated the conclusions from his controversial July diplomatic mission to Kyiv, Moscow and Beijing and showed Ukraine was losing the war.

ā€œThe Americans are going to get out of this war,ā€ Orban, who is hosting a European Union summit in Budapest on Friday, said on public radio. ā€œEurope canā€™t finance this war on its own.ā€
