Kiev: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor, Putin's closest ally in Europe, has suddenly arrived in Kiev. This is Kiwi's first visit to Auburn since the beginning of the war. In fact, Viktor Auburn, who criticized the European support being given to Ukraine, told Zelensky that we can stop the war. Also, I urged him to pursue peace talks with Moscow.
Auburn further said that peace talks can be given a chance only if we maintain a ceasefire for a fixed time frame. I am grateful to President Zelensky for our conversation.
It is noteworthy that the Hungarian Prime Minister had requested European countries to make efforts to stop the war instead of helping Ukraine in the war.
However, even before Hungary's proposal, Zelensky and his Ukrainian colleagues had rejected the proposal, saying that peace talks were not possible until Russia returned the occupied land (Ukraine). Putin cannot always be trusted to stick to an agreement.
It is noteworthy that even when the Western world imposed sanctions on Russia, Hungary stood with Russia.
Hungary currently holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union. The position rotates every six months. But the country that holds the presidency naturally sets the agenda of the conference according to its priorities. Hungary made this announcement at the EU summit on Monday. 'Make Europe great again.'
Will Hungary use this platform for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia or will it be used in a way that will help Russia? That question is being debated.
