Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi made the statement during a briefing, as reported by European Pravda.
He stressed that Budapest's "proposals" are simply a PR campaign, which Ukraine calls "peace PR." "Why are they doing this? Probably for domestic political reasons. There are no real proposals," Tykhyi said.
He also pointed out that Kyiv has repeatedly asked Hungary to stop manipulating the topics of war, death, and Christmas, both publicly and privately. "This is just a cynical manipulation," he added.
- On December 11, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had a phone conversation with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin immediately after meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in Florida.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reacted to the phone call: “We hope that Orbán will not call Assad in Moscow.”
- Later, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said he had offered Ukraine and Russia a Christmas ceasefire and a large-scale POW exchange.
