Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban intends to discuss with Russian President Vladimir Putin issues of the country’s energy security and ways to achieve peace in Ukraine. Orban wrote about this on his Facebook page, commenting on his upcoming visit to Moscow.
Noting his recent trip to Washington, Orban emphasized that the purpose of the visit to Moscow is to provide Hungary with stable energy supplies at affordable prices.
The issue of peace in Ukraine is also on the agenda
According to Hungarian State Secretary for International Communications Zoltan Kovacs, Orban said that he would meet with the president RF in Moscow to ensure stable energy supplies.
Orban stressed that Hungary receives both gas and oil from Russia, and maintaining these supplies is extremely important.
The Prime Minister noted that the issue of peace in Ukraine will “inevitably” be discussed during the meeting with Putin.
Earlier, on November 7, Orban met in Washington with US President Donald Trump and asked for an exception for Hungary from sanctions against Russia energy.
After the negotiations, Orbán said that the desired exception had been granted.
