City Mayor: 'Budapest Standing by Ukraine, Solidarity, Peace'
Budapest stands by Ukraine, by peace, solidarity and Euro-Atlantic cooperation, the city’s mayor said on Friday, marking the Ukraine war’s first anniversary, adding that standing by Ukraine was a matter of faith and conviction, dictated by humanity and morals.

“There will be peace only if Ukraine wins,” Gergely Karácsony said, opening a poster exhibition.

“And peace will be brought about if Ukraine’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity is restored for which Euro-Atlantic cooperation and solidarity are essential.”

He noted that Budapest had already provided accommodation to some 50,000 Ukrainian refugees and distributed 300,000 meal portions to them.
