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.
