Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban says he urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to put in place an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, and invited the leaders of France, Germany and Ukraine to meet the Russian leader in Budapest.
“I suggested to President Putin that he declare an immediate ceasefire,” Orban tells a press conference, saying he had spoken to the Russian president. “His response was positive, but with conditions,” Orban says, without elaborating.
The Hungarian leader, reelected on Sunday, adds that he had invited Putin to Budapest along with French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for talks.
