Russia-Hungary Meeting: Here's What Russia's FM Told FM Szijjarto

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that those in the pro-peace camp represent the correct approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as opposed to those advocating for Russia’s strategic defeat on the battlefield. During his meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in Moscow, Mr. Lavrov emphasized that without addressing the root causes of the war, no lasting solution can be found. He highlighted several international initiatives aimed at resolving the conflict, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s peace mission. We agree that those in the pro-peace camp represent the correct approach. However, those who argue that the war must continue until Russia is strategically defeated on the battlefield do not even reflect the interests of their own nations," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared during his talks with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in Moscow. Mr. Lavrov noted that several international initiatives have been launched to bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, citing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s peace mission as a prime example.
