The office of the President of Ukraine rejected the proposals of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for a ceasefire, Deputy Head of the Office Ihor Zhovkva said.

“This is not the first country that talks about such possible scenarios. President [Volodymyr Zelensky] listened to [Orban’s] interlocutor, but in response he stated his position,” said Ihor Zhovkva.

According to him, proposals for a ceasefire “cannot be considered in isolation.” Kyiv’s position is to resolve the conflict through peace summits, the first of which was held in June in Switzerland.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban arrived in Kyiv arrived in Ukraine on July 2 for the first time since February 24, 2022 to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the visit, he said that the issue of a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict will be the most important during the six months of Hungary’s presidency of the EU Council. According to Orban, he would also like to take advantage of the meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the situation with the “Hungarian minority” living in the country in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. Orban is called Moscow’s ally in the EU in the West.
