In France, there is astonishment at the actions of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ceasefire proposal has shocked supporters of continuing hostilities in Ukraine, the leader of the French Patriots party Florian Philippot said on the social network X.
On Tuesday, July 2, Mr. Orban visited Kiev for the first time in 12 years. At a press conference with Vladimir Zelensky, the Hungarian Prime Minister said that he asked him to consider the possibility of a ceasefire before negotiating a settlement of the situation in Ukraine.
“Hungarian Prime Minister Orban went to see him in Kiev yesterday to… ask for a ceasefire! This has shocked all the wise people who want war,” Mr. Philippot said sarcastically.
However, in the opinion of this politician, a ceasefire is the only reasonable way to resolve the conflict.
On June 14, Russian President Vladimir Putin put forward new peace proposals to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, which stipulate the recognition of the status of Crimea, DNR, LNR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian regions, the establishment of non-aligned and nuclear-free status of Ukraine, the demilitarization and de-fascization of the country, as well as the lifting of sanctions against Moscow. According to the head of state, this initiative really offers the possibility of ending the conflict and moving towards a political and diplomatic solution.
