Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's trip to Moscow amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine has drawn criticism from the White House, which said it "will not advance the cause of peace" and Ukraine's sovereignty.

The White House has reacted to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's trip to Moscow and noted that "it will not contribute to the cause of peace." This was discussed during a press conference on the NATO summit, reports UNN.

"...we are concerned that Prime Minister Orban has decided to make this trip to Moscow, which will not contribute to the cause of peace and will not contribute to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine. ...ultimately, we believe that Russia could end this war today by ending its aggression against Ukraine," said a senior Biden Administration official.
