Hungarian FM has talks with head of Ukrainian President’s Office
Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó had talks by phone with Andriy Yermak, the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office, at the initiative of the Ukrainian party, the Hungarian foreign ministry’s spokesman told MTI.
Mate Paczolay cited Yermak as informing the foreign minister about Ukraine’s plans to adopt “several important pieces of legislation”.
Szijjártó and Yermak were in agreement that bilateral ties called for improvement and decided on a personal meeting to follow.
At the talks, Yermak suggested a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
Szijjártó said the Hungarian side was open to the proposal, but added that “it will only have a point if there is a chance that the talks have a positive outcome. It requires thorough preparations and preliminary talks.”

That’s a pretty offensive reply by Szijjarto on the Ukrainian proposal for talks between Orban and Zelensky. It shows how far Hungary is in the Russian camp when Orban can’t even meet with the Ukrainian leader. How is it that Fidesz constantly talks about the need for peace talks but won’t talk to Zelensky? There is no logic. What Fidesz is really doing is Putin’s bidding. Orban is in Putin’s pocket.
