"Ukraine's fall would be a serious problem for Hungary. Therefore, Ukraine's fall is not only not in Hungary's interest, but we must reach an excellent agreement to prevent it from happening," said the Hungarian prime minister.
He emphasized that stability in the neighboring country is of great importance to Hungary: it supplies 44% of electricity and 58% of gas to Ukraine.
"But the war weakens Ukraine daily. Peace is the only thing that can strengthen it. Everyone who truly supports Ukraine must strive for peace, and strive for it now," Orban added.
