Hungarian Secretary of State for International Relations Zoltan Kovacs said that Budapest belongs to the “peace camp”. This happened after the meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
Kovach published his statement online.
The Hungarian Secretary of State also posted a photo of Orban and Zelensky shaking hands on the sidelines of the European Council meeting on February 9.
“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: Hungary will continue to provide humanitarian and financial aid to Ukraine. “We support an immediate ceasefire to avoid further deaths. Hungary enters the peace camp,” Kovacs said in a statement.

Note that the Hungarian prime minister apparently tried to avoid the Ukrainian president in Brussels in every possible way. Thus, an excerpt from a video from the European Council was published on the Web, in which the leaders of different states greet and shake hands with Zelensky. At the same time, Orban seems to be pretending to be very busy and ignoring the President of Ukraine.
Recall that when Zelensky had just arrived at the EU summit on February 9, he posed for a joint meeting with the leaders of the EU member states. photo. European leaders greeted the Ukrainian president with applause, and only Orban stood without a smile, lowering his hands.
