joining us at this hour uh Hungarian prime minister Victor Oben is in Ukraine and he’s agging his counterpart vadir zalinski to go for a ceasefire and um this he says will give Ukraine and Russia an opportunity to speak about peace your reaction well I’ve been expecting this step from Victor Oran side because he has taken over the EU presidency from 1 of July and for the first time since two years he has gone to Kev in order to meet uh his uh Ukrainian counterpart it’s a surprise but it’s I’ve expected this because the EU has launched the beginning the first steps to towards EU accession negotiations of Ukraine and at the same time as Victor auan is someone who has is maintaining links not only permanent to the west and to European nations but at the same time to Russia and by the way don’t forget Hungary has a minority within Western Ukraine and Hungary is receiving about 5,000 people per week mhm as refugees at home without speaking about this and Hungary has been complaining about let’s say the treatment of his minority in Ukraine but now he is theplace and it’s normal as he is links and an Open Door uh to Vladimir Putin and on on the other hand to the other Europeans or to the Americans I think I’ve expected that step that vior Oban is urging zelinski to accept let’s say a real negotiation why because when you look at the front of a war despite of you have mentioned in the news Clyde bombs you might fight May fight against Clyde Broms too but if you look at the front and it moving the front in the last 6 months first of all a Ukrainian offensive without success and now a Russian offensive without success too and therefore the front is not moving it’s it’s difficult uh and it’s just prolonging war and people have been thinking well it will last till the end of of a year at least till after the American elections but there is a chance because I think both sides are tired to some extent all right we’ll have to leave it there I’ve been talking to Mr Joakim
