Budapest has defended Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin
Hungary has defended Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s trip to Moscow despite the EU’s diplomatic boycott of Russia.
Orban met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, discussing Ukraine, trade, and energy supplies.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Szijjarto dismissed criticism from what he called “European pro-war politicians.”
“We, Hungarians, do not need permission or a mandate from Brussels, Berlin, or anywhere else for any foreign talks. We pursue a sovereign foreign policy, and our decisions are determined by national interests – whether you like it in Brussels or not,” he wrote.

Hungary has refused to solely blame Russia for the Ukraine conflict and has offered to help mediate a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow. Orban has also declined to send weapons to Ukraine and warned that further escalation could lead to a direct clash between Russia and NATO.
During a meeting in the Kremlin, Putin thanked Orban for his “reasonable position on the Ukraine issue.”
Orban stressed that “stable deliveries from Russia remain the cornerstone of Hungary’s energy security – in the past, now, and in the future.”
