Hungary vetoed the Council of Europe (CoE) resolution on Ukraine. This document provided for the recognition of only one so-called “peace formula” of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“The Council [of Europe] also wanted to adopt a resolution today to recognize the exclusively peaceful plan of Zelenskyy as a peace formula that should be considered and supported,” said Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations Peter Szijjártó, according to Kyiv Independent, who took part in a meeting of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
“Instead of arms transfers and fantasies of nuclear war, we need real peace talks. And real peace talks can only take place when all the warring parties are at the negotiating table,” he added.
The head of Hungarian diplomacy emphasized that “Instead of arms transfers and fantasies of nuclear war, we need real peace talks. And real peace talks can only take place when all the warring parties are at the negotiating table,” Szijjarto said.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Zelenskyy’s “peace formula” an ultimatum to Russia. And the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that its discussions are nothing more than “conversation for the sake of conversation. ”
