There is still a long way to go to resolve the conflict in Ukraine because many Western countries want to continue the warfare so as to defeat Russia, stated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban after arriving at the summit of the European Political Community (EPC) in the UK, APA reports.
"There is still a long a way to go," he said, while answering journalists’ questions on the prospects of settling the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, most countries in the West still "advocate for waging war and think they can take over Russia militarily."
"I don’t think it’s possible. This conflict can’t be resolved on the battlefield. They think it's possible, but I don't believe it," Orban underlined.
"I know Russians, I know the Soviet Union, I know Ukrainians, I live in their neighboring country, I know the whole context. It is impossible to find a solution on the battlefield," the head of the government said, reminding that Ukrainian conflict takes lives of many people every day. He deems it necessary to work towards ceasefire and the start of peace talks between the sides of the conflict. "But it will take time," Orban admitted.
