BUDAPEST: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Saturday that Russia's leadership was “hyper-rational” and that Ukraine could never fulfill its hopes of joining the European Union or NATO. Orban, a nationalist in power since 2010, made the comments during a speech in which he predicted a shift in global power away from the “irrational” West towards Asia and Russia. “In the coming long decades, perhaps centuries, Asia will be the dominant center of the world,” Orban said, citing China, India, Pakistan and Indonesia as the world's future superpowers.
