Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said on Facebook on Thursday that since the US presidential election, "decisions have been made continuously -- neglecting the will of the people -- to thwart Donald Trump's efforts to make peace in Ukraine."
Noting the growing risk of an escalation in the conflict, Minister Szijjártó said that "yesterday, at last, the global pro-peace majority and all those praying for peace in Ukraine received good news... Donald Trump announced that he will appoint Keith Kellogg as special envoy in the interest of a peaceful settlement in the Ukraine-Russia war."
Minister Szijjártó pledged the Hungarian government's support to Kellogg's work, adding that "we are ready for cooperation in every effort for peace."
