Some G7 leaders suggest helping Kyiv with as much as $50 billion in loans funded by frozen Russian assets.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban downplayed the odds of Russia's success in a potential offensive against Western countries. 'I do not consider it logical that Russia, which cannot even defeat Ukraine, would all of a sudden come and swallow the Western world whole,' Orban said in an interview on public radio, according to Reuters. 'The chances of this are extremely slim.

' Led by national conservative Orban, Hungary has declined providing military assistance to neighboring Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-fledged invasion, but extends humanitarian aid. Orban is widely seen as Russian President Vladimir Putin's closest ally among European nations. 'The Russian military is fighting a serious and difficult war with the Ukrainians,' Orban said.
