Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and direct negotiations between the US and Russian presidents to end the war.
He said this at a joint press conference with the chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi, writes “European truth“with reference to the Hungarian edition Hungarian Hirlap.
Szijjártó was answering a question about separate speeches by the US and Russian presidents on Tuesday.
“They could do a much greater service to humanity if they talked to each other yesterday,” the Hungarian Foreign Minister said.
“This war must end immediately. If there is no immediate ceasefire and peace talks do not start immediately, there could be huge problems,” he added.
Szijjarto believes that “it would be great if the Americans and the Russians finally talked to each other and did everything possible to end this war as quickly as possible.”
Recall that Slovak Foreign Minister Rastislav Kacher cursed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for his policies that play into the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Orban has previously stated that peace in Ukraine will come when the United States wants it.
Hungarian officials have repeatedly said that negotiations between Russia and the United States are needed to resolve the war in Ukraine.
