Hungary does not believe Russia should retain occupied territories of Ukraine - Szijjarto

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto says that the country's position on the need for a ceasefire does not mean Russia should keep occupied territories of Ukraine

He made the statement in an interview with AP.

He noted that peace talks between Russia and Ukraine do not necessarily mean that the borders should be where the front line is now.

"You know, stopping the war and sitting around the table does not mean that you accept the status quo. When the war stops and the peace talks start, it’s not necessary that the borders would be where the front lines are. We know this from our own history as well ... Cease-fire has to come now," Szijjarto said.

  • Peter Szijjarto claims that his country is being dragged into the war in Ukraine, but Budapest is strongly opposed to it.
