Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has made his first visit to Kyiv since Russia’s full-scale war began, and urged Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider a “ceasefire” in order to “speed up peace talks” with Moscow.
Standing alongside Zelensky on Tuesday, Orban, who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and has criticized European support for Ukraine, said: “I asked the president to think about whether we could reverse the order, and speed up peace talks, with making a ceasefire first.”
Hungary was aligned with Nazi Germany and so it's no real surprise that they feel a tug to make common cause with Hitler's intellectual son in Budapest. Only being a NATO/EU member pulls Orban back a little. He's also trying to cut back on his ostracism in Europe because he has aligned himself with this century's fascist European aggressor.
Zelenskyy is being a gracious host, listening to Orban. But he'll probably tell him the diplomatic equivalent of "go shit in yer hat and wear it."
