Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has condemned Russia's attack on Ukraine and for the first time laid responsibility directly on Moscow for the tensions and violence in Hungary's eastern neighbour.
BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has condemned Russia's attack on Ukraine and for the first time laid responsibility directly on Moscow for the tensions and violence in Hungary's eastern neighbour.
"Together with our European Union and NATO allies, we condemn Russia's military action," Orban said in a video on Facebook.
A member of the European Union and NATO that borders Ukraine, Hungary under Orban has pursued close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a point of concern for many of Hungary's western partners.
While Hungary's government has urged a peaceful resolution to the conflict through diplomacy, high-ranking officials until now avoided condemning Russia's actions directly.
