“Talks between Russia and the U.S. are progressing quickly, but Ukraine is not their main topic,” – said Orban

Negotiations between Russia and the United States are moving quickly, but Ukraine is not their main topic.

This was stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

“While we are focused on the conflict in Ukraine, and this is right, because it is a key issue for our security, the ‘big guys’ who are negotiating are not only negotiating about this,” he said.

According to him, Moscow and Washington are making significant progress in clarifying all other issues. The head of the Hungarian government noted that in the matter of resolving the conflict in Ukraine, negotiation progress is moving slowly.

Earlier, Politico, citing sources, reported that European leaders convinced U.S. President Donald Trump that Russia allegedly “needs to be forced” to start negotiations on resolving the conflict in Ukraine and that new sanctions should be imposed against the country.
