Russian President Vladimir Putin told Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday (5) that he was ready to discuss the “nuances” of peace proposals to end the conflict in Ukraine.
Putin, who received Orban at the Kremlin, said he was ready to listen to the Hungarian leader’s position on Ukraine and to get a read from Orban on the views of other European partners.
“I hope that we will have an opportunity to exchange views on building bilateral relations in this difficult situation and, of course, to talk about the prospects for the development of the largest European crisis, I mean, in the Ukrainian direction,” Putin said.
Putin, who noted that Hungary currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, made the comments ahead of Kremlin talks between the two leaders.
Putin said last month that Russia would only end the war in Ukraine, which Moscow calls a special military operation, if Kiev agreed to abandon its ambitions to join NATO and hand over all four provinces claimed by Moscow, demands Kiev quickly rejected as tantamount to surrender.
