In addition, the Hungarian state news agency MTI wrote that Orban said that Hungary greatly appreciates China's peace initiative on the “conflict “in a country neighboring Hungary.
It is worth noting that before this, Viktor Orban visited Ukraine, where he proposed stopping the fire. Then he went to Moscow, where he shook hands with Putin and said that the Russian dictator was not interested in a ceasefire for negotiations.
The European Union explained that they did not provide Orban with a mandate and these visits are solely his decision. Although Hungary will preside over the Council of the European Union for six months, and it does not have external representation.
