Hungarians think Ukraine should start peace talks
Some 70 percent of Hungarians believe that peace talks rather than the continuation of war would serve Ukraine’s interests, think-tank Nézőpont Institute said citing a recent survey on Friday.
Regardless of political affiliation, the majority in all social groups believe that the start of peace talks would serve Ukraine’s interests. A total of 73 percent of pro-government responders and 69 percent of those supporting the opposition said peace talks would serve Ukraine’s interests, while pro-war respondents accounted for 22 percent of government supporters and 16 percent of opposition voters, Nézőpont said.
Some 84 percent of people aged above 70 and 69 percent of those aged 18-29 said peace talks would best serve the country’s interests. Even 69 percent of Budapest residents, who are generally more open to the Brussels mainstream’s position, said peace should be sought. Nézőpont conducted the survey by phoning 1,000 people between November 28 and 30.

Ukraine is a sovereign country – we don’t get a say? They will do what they believe is their best interests. And there’s not much to negotiate about, at this time (unless Ukraine is keen to gift Russia the selfstyled Luhansk and the Donetsk People’s Republics which are only recognized by Russia and Syria, any claims to Crimea, relinquishes EU aspirations and probably offers up its military).
Fact: Russia invaded Ukraine. When Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, they lose their country.
Not a good idea to start negotiations when the enemy still occupies your land.
Amazing how many Hungarians are stating that Ukraine should “negotiate” and give up land to Russia, whiile at the same time Hungarians cry endlessly about land lost 100 years ago when they lost a war that they started! This double standard is ridiculas and makes many Hungarians look ridiculas for even thinking about this. Remember 1956, the Russians took took took and gave nothing back but graves. As for the “despora”, they had 100 years to move back to Hungary. Come back or shut up!!!!
