Budapest's call to stop the fire in Ukraine and start peace talks does not mean that the Russian Federation should withdraw the occupied Ukrainian lands, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijarto said in an interview with AP.

“You know, stopping the war and sitting down at the negotiating table does not mean that you accept the status quo.. When the war stops and peace negotiations begin, it is not at all necessary that the borders will be where the front line passes.. We know this from our own history as well.. The ceasefire must come now,” said Sijarto.

Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Russia cannot win the war that it itself started..

However, he also does not understand how Ukraine can win, since our state is opposed to a country that has nuclear weapons.. According to Orban, “We need a ceasefire and peace talks. The faster the better"

It should be noted that Kyiv has repeatedly explained that negotiations with the Russian Federation are possible only when Moscow withdraws its troops from all over Ukraine.. Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba even noted that many of those who offer negotiations with Russia today really want her victory..
