Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to think about taking a pause and ceasing fire. In his opinion, this could speed up the pace of peace talks.
He said this at a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Tuesday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
He also noted that during its presidency of the European Union, Hungary “will help in everything it can”.
Orban made an official visit to Kyiv on Tuesday, July 2, for the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine started.
On July 1, Hungary took over the six-month rotating presidency of the EU.
Hungary had repeatedly blocked military aid to Ukraine from the European Union, the introduction of EU sanctions against Russia and the start of negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
乌克兰通讯社记者报道，匈牙利总理维克托·奥尔班要求乌克兰总统泽连斯基考虑停战和停火。他认为，这可以加快和谈的步伐。
他周二在基辅与乌克兰总统泽连斯基举行的联合新闻发布会上发表了上述言论。
他还指出，在担任欧盟主席国期间，匈牙利“将尽一切努力提供帮助”。
奥尔班于7月2日星期二对基辅进行了正式访问，这是俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来的首次访问。
7月1日，匈牙利接任欧盟为期六个月的轮值主席国。
匈牙利曾多次阻止欧盟对乌克兰提供军事援助、阻止欧盟对俄罗斯实施制裁以及阻止乌克兰启动加入欧盟的谈判。
