Ukraine reacts to Orban's visit to Putin

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry commented on the visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Moscow on Friday, July 5, 2024, where he held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Yevropeiska Pravda, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine published a comment.

The Foreign Ministry emphasized that the decision to make this trip was made by the Hungarian side without the consent or coordination of Ukraine.

"We remind you that for our country the principle of 'no agreements on Ukraine without Ukraine' remains inviolable and we call on all states to strictly adhere to it," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry noted that the "peace formula" remains the only realistic way to restore a just peace.

"As evidenced by the first Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, which was also attended by Hungary, more than a hundred states and international organizations share a vision of peace based on respect for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the UN Charter," the Foreign Ministry said.
