Zelenskyy said he has never discussed a ceasefire or a dialogue with Putin with Hungarian Prime Minister Orban. He considers some aspects of Orban's policies unfriendly, but hopes for a diplomatic solution.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he had never spoken with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban about a ceasefire or a dialogue with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He said this  during the final  press conference, an UNN correspondent reports.  

I have never talked to Orban about a ceasefire or about a dialogue with Putin, never. Perhaps he raised this topic with his friends, or EU leaders, or somewhere abroad. Maybe in the United States. There was something in his speech, but I don't know. For me, it's a bit strange, because sometimes his policies are not very friendly to us. He knows this, and he heard this fact from me.

- Zelensky said.

Zelensky noted that during their conversation in Argentina, he asked Orban why they could not organize an official meeting.  

"I asked him: tell me why we can't organize an official meeting between us. He couldn't give me an answer either. I think we could find a diplomatic solution. Our sides will work on it," Zelensky said.
