Ukraine Launched "An Ugly Campaign" Recently Against Hungary, Says FM Szijjarto at UN in NY

• 20 Dec 2024 6:13 AM

The president of Ukraine has launched "an ugly campaign" against Hungary in the international arena in recent days, but "one should not fall for his provocations", the foreign minister said on Thursday, prior to attending a general assembly meeting of the United Nations in New York.

According to a foreign ministry statement, Peter Szijjarto said that the Hungarian government position had proven right during the past one thousand days of the war in Ukraine: the war has no solution on the battlefield and the only way to settle the armed conflict is through negotiations.

He said that "after more than one thousand days there are still those who are unable to see that an overall new reality has developed: the Russians are forging ahead more and more intensively day-by-day against Ukraine, while here, in the United States a pro-peace politician has won the presidential election and his inauguration is getting closer and closer".

Szijjarto said it was regrettable that "the American Democrats and Western European liberals have launched a bitter attack in a last-ditch effort" to thwart the efforts towards peace of the incoming president who will take office on January 20.

He noted that President-elect Donald Trump had made a clear statement in the recent days promoting peace and calling for peace talks.

"It is high time for Western European leaders to understand that Donald Trump is a serious person... He made clear during his presidential campaign that he had an interest in creating peace fast, and this must be taken seriously," Szijjarto said.

After Trump's taking office, standpoints about migration will change around the world, the foreign minister said.
