The blood of Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk is not only on the hands of their killers—it stains the political and cultural establishment that excused, enabled, and even celebrated their deaths. These tragedies are not isolated—they are warnings for conservatives worldwide.
‘The sad truth is that most liberal democracies have had it so good for so long that we’ve forgotten that almost nothing worthwhile comes without effort, that freedom has to be defended, and that often enough the alternative to fighting is surrender. Something that Israel has always known; that the Ukrainians have more recently discovered; that the Taiwanese might belatedly be waking up to…’
‘Within just 14 months, the US has witnessed both the attempted assassination of a former president and presidential candidate, and the actual assassination of one of the most prominent figures supporting the party in power…Both attacks unfolded before crowds of thousands…No wonder two incidents like those have prompted a change in perspective towards free speech on the right.’
Justin Logan told Hungarian Conservative that NATO is entering a new era where Europe must provide for its own security. With the US unwilling to give Ukraine ironclad guarantees and Russia grinding forward, he warned that European pledges will mean little unless backed by real force.
‘Borders must be enforced, constitutions defended, and citizenship laws tightened,’ Fabrice Leggeri declared at the Geopolitical Summit in Budapest. The former Frontex chief set out a detailed plan to reclaim sovereignty, warning that EU ideology has blurred lines between residence, rights, and national identity. Panellists from both sides of the Atlantic agreed.
The 5th Danube Institute Geopolitical Summit is currently taking place in Budapest, Hungary. Minister of Defence Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky of Hungary has delivered the keynote address, speaking about such crucial issues of the time as the Russo–Ukrainian war, the Israel–Hamas war, common European defence, and EU enlargement.
Polish authorities say drones allegedly tied to Russia entered their airspace during strikes on Ukraine, prompting NATO talks. The timing is notable: days earlier, former president Andrzej Duda revealed Kyiv had pushed Poland to pin the 2022 Przewodów strike on Moscow. Hungary’s Orbán pledged solidarity but highlighted the need for peace, not escalation.
Democrats and the mainstream press face mounting criticism after 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death on a Charlotte train. While shocking footage of the attack emerged, national media coverage remained scarce—prompting Elon Musk, Piers Morgan, and Republicans to denounce the silence as politically motivated.
Estonian President Alar Karis urged EU leaders to engage in dialogue with Viktor Orbán rather than merely ‘label him’, suggesting that Hungary’s concerns over Ukraine’s EU bid must be taken seriously. His remarks mark a rare call for compromise within the bloc, as Budapest remains the sole veto blocking Kyiv’s accession.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, fresh from nearly an hour-long private meeting with Vladimir Putin in Beijing, announced he will deliver a ‘very serious message’ to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday. Fico’s role echoes Viktor Orbán’s earlier peace missions, though the Slovak leader emerges at a moment when Putin insists no peace is possible without addressing NATO expansion.
