⚡️Zelenskyy slams efforts to reach deals with Moscow
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has slammed any efforts to reach a deal with Moscow on Ukraine that do not involve Kyiv, after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban visited Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Addressing his counterparts at the European Political Community summit in Britain, the Ukrainian leader called for “unity” in support of Ukraine.
“For us it’s very important to maintain unity in Europe because always this unity leads to strong decisions,” Zelenskyy said at the summit venue, Blenheim Palace near Oxford.
Orban visited Moscow on July 5 as part of what he described as a peace mission.
“If someone in Europe tries to resolve issues behind others backs or even at the expense of someone else, if someone wants to make some trips to the capital of war to talk and perhaps promise something against our common interests or at the expense of Ukraine or other countries, then why should we consider such a person?” Zelenskyy said.
“The EU and NATO can also address all their issues without this one individual.”
Upon his arrival at the summit, Orban told reporters in English when asked about his message to Ukraine: “We are with you.”
However, he added: “It is impossible to find a solution on the battlefield.”
The gathering takes place at what Zelenskyy has described as a “tough period” for Ukraine, with the Kremlin’s invading forces making steady gains.
