Hungarian President Urges Russia to Withdraw Troops from Ukraine for Peace.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said that European leaders are close to discussing whether the European Union can send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine. Orbán, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and has gone along with a number of EU sanctions packages. Hungary has refused to supply Kyiv with weapons, despite appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Western leaders for military supplies. Orbán said that leaders "need to present arguments so that the warring parties see that a ceasefire is in the interests of both."
