Hungary’s Orban pushes for ceasefire during meeting with Zelensky
During his first visit to neighbouring Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday that the war was Europe’s “most important issue”, and recommended an immediate ceasefire.
Mr Orban is widely seen as having the warmest relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin among European Union leaders, and his visit was a rare gesture in a tumultuous relationship with Ukraine as Budapest has repeatedly leaned toward Moscow.
