Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated on Thursday that the European Union does not have the right to participate in Ukraine peace negotiations along with Russia and the United States.
"You can't request a seat at the negotiating table. You have to earn it! Through strength, good leadership and smart diplomacy. The position of Brussels - to support killing as long as it takes - is morally and politically unacceptable," Orban said in a post on X.
The prime minister's comments come after European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said that the bloc must be included in any talks aimed at resolving the Ukrainian crisis.
