Orban to Zelenskyy: Ceasefire could speed up pace of negotiations with Russia
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban proposes to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to ensure a ceasefire for peace negotiations, reports an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent.
"Peace is an important issue. The war in which you are now living has a very intense impact on the security of Europe. We highly appreciate all the initiatives of Mr. Zelenskyy to achieve peace. I told Zelenskyy that these initiatives take a lot of time. And it is the rules of international diplomacy that make them complicated. I asked Zelenskyy to think about whether it could be done differently: first, cease fire, and then negotiate peace. Because a ceasefire could speed up the pace of these negotiations," Orban said at a press conference with Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Tuesday.
He also said that he was "very grateful to Zelenskyy for his opinion on this issue."
