01:00Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that Moscow supports a complete and final
01:09end to the Ukraine conflict rather than some kind of ceasefire.
01:13But Putin reiterated his demand that Ukrainian troops should withdraw from the Donetsk, Luhansk,
01:18Kursan, and Zaporozhye regions at a press conference in Moscow after meeting Hungarian
01:22Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
01:25Other requirements are subject to consideration, he added.
01:29Russia is committed to a comprehensive and definitive resolution of the conflict, the
01:33conditions for this were outlined in my speech to the Foreign Ministry the withdrawal of
01:37all troops from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kursan, and Zaporozhye regions.
01:42There are other conditions that are being taken into consideration in the framework
01:46for possible cooperation, he said.
01:49Putin has argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is avoiding peace talks
01:53because they would require him to lift martial law and hold presidential elections, and his
01:57chances of winning are almost zero.
02:01Regarding Russia's relations with the European Union, Putin said relations were currently
02:05at their lowest point, and he had discussed the future security architecture in Europe
02:09with Orban.
02:11During the talks, the Russian President said the Hungarian Prime Minister mainly expressed
02:15Western views, including those regarding Ukraine.
02:20We view the Prime Minister's visit as an attempt to restore dialogue and provide additional
02:24impetus, Putin said.
02:26Meanwhile, Orban said Hungary considers ensuring peace in Europe its main task during the presidency
02:31of the Council of the European Union, for which purpose he came to Moscow.
02:35Orban said he wanted to know the shortest way to end the war and wanted to know the
02:39Russian President's opinion on three things, as well as what the order should be to maintain
02:43peace and the vision of Europe after the war.
02:46The three things the Russian President wants to know are his opinion regarding the peace
02:50initiative in Ukraine, the possibility of a ceasefire, and peace talks.
02:55The Prime Minister stressed that in recent years, almost no country has been able to
02:59establish contact with both sides, and Hungary is one of the few countries that has made
03:03such contact.
03:05There are still many steps to be taken to get closer to the end of the war.
03:10We have taken the most important step today by establishing contact and will continue
03:14to work in that direction, he said.
