Orban calls on EU to revise its foreign policy

If there is no communication between Russia and Ukraine, the war will get worse and worse, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban told journalists on the sidelines of the Cernobbio forum in Italy, according to Report's correspondent dispatched to Cernobbio.

"There is a misunderstanding widely in the Western public opinion that we first should put together a peace plan and then start to negotiate and then to have a ceasefire. It's not true," he said.

He noted that over the past decades, there has been a trend where parties first cease fire and then sit down at the negotiating table.

Orban also stated the need for the EU to change its foreign policy and once again call on the parties to make peace.

"The language we use and the political targets we set up was always peace. And now it looks like a sin to say that the main target of European Union is to create peace. So it's not legitimate to speak about peace because the whole atmosphere, the language and the culture of European Union is pro-war. I don't like it and I don't think it's good for the European Union," Orban said.
