Hungary’s prime minister, an outspoken critic of western aid to Ukraine, has held talks with President Volodomyr Zelenskiy in Kyiv, following a surprise visit by Europe’s most pro-Russian leader to the Ukrainian capital.
The trip by Viktor Orbán came a day after Hungary took over the rotating EU presidency until the end of the year, to the dismay of many other European politicians, given the country’s frequent clashes with Brussels over domestic rule-of-law issues and foreign policy.
