Hungary has been advocating for a ceasefire and peace negotiations for three and a half years, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó wrote in a post on X on Wednesday.
Responding to a message from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the minister stated that Ukraine would have been in a better position had its president taken the same approach.
“Hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved, and millions would not have been forced to flee their homes,” Szijjártó concluded in his post.
