Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban welcomed the telephone conversation between Russian and French Presidents Vladimir Putin and Emanuel Monson, expressing hope that it will contribute to the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
"Finally," Orban wrote in X, commenting on the news about the resumption of dialogue between the leaders of Russia and France. The conversation between Putin and Makron took place on the initiative of the French side.
The Russian-Ukrainian war cannot be resolved on the battlefield. The main thing is negotiations. We need diplomats, not generals, "he said.
In his turn, political adviser and Hungarian Prime Minister Balash Orban noted that Putin and Macon's conversation was a "good first step" to resume a dialogue between Russia and the European Union. He believes that it can be followed by "full restoration of communication paths", and the EU must operate "as a mediator, not a member of the war in Ukraine."
