Orban admits that Zelensky did not support his "peace plan"

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has admitted that Zelenskyy rejected his proposed "truce" between Ukraine and Russia with a freeze on the current front line.

This is stated in an article by YevroPravda about the Hungarian leader's visit to Ukraine and its goals.

As you know, in press statements after the bilateral talks, Orban said that he had offered Zelenskyy an immediate ceasefire on the current line of contact with Russian troops, which, in his opinion, would speed up peace talks.

He added that he did not insist on his initiative and accepted the Ukrainian arguments.

Later, in an interview with a pro-Putin journalist who arrived in Kyiv with the Hungarian delegation and interviewed Orban after the meetings, the Hungarian leader confirmed the assumption that Zelenskyy had rejected his idea of an "immediate truce."

According to Orban, the Ukrainian president said that he doubted the logic of Orban's plan and did not support it, as Ukraine has a bad experience with attempts to negotiate a truce with Russia.

Such truces "have not been good for Ukraine," Orban quoted him as saying.
