Regarding Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s visit to Moscow on July 5, 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that the decision to make this trip was made by the Hungarian side without approval or coordination with Ukraine. 

We remind that the principle of "no agreements on Ukraine without Ukraine" remains inviolable for our country and call on all states to strictly adhere to it. 

The Peace Formula remains the only realistic way to restore a just peace. As demonstrated by the first Global Peace Summit in Switzerland, which was also attended by Hungary, more than a hundred states and international organizations share a vision of peace based on respect for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the UN Charter. The Peace Summit format is a key platform for finding ways to restore a just peace.

Ukraine remains constructively inclined to further work on the development of bilateral cooperation and European integration following the Hungarian Prime Minister’s visit to Kyiv.
