The correspondent of TASR in Budapest informs about it.
“At the end of Hungary’s EU (Council) presidency, we again tried to steer the warring parties towards peace. We proposed a Christmas truce and a large-scale prisoner exchange. How sad that today President Zelensky clearly rejected and ruled it out. We did what we could,” Orbán wrote.
