Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban described the Chinese plan for peace in Ukraine as important.
On the membership of Sweden and Finland in NATO, he said that the issue of Ukraine’s accession to NATO would be raised sooner or later.
Orban added that much thought should be given to NATO’s further expansion in the east so that Budapest will not be drawn into a war.
At the same time, the Hungarian Prime Minister emphasized that these considerations do not apply to Sweden or Finland joining NATO.
Chinese proposal for peace
Last Friday, the Chinese government published a 12-item proposal in which it called on Moscow and Kiev to resume peace negotiations, warning against the use of nuclear weapons and demanding that civilians be avoided.
In the document it issued on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the outbreak of the war, I also stressed the need to resume direct dialogue between the two parties as soon as possible.

It is noteworthy that this proposal came in light of the escalation of Western accusations against Beijing of supporting Moscow militarily, as the United States announced this week that China intends to supply Russia with weapons and suicide marches to support its attack.
However, Beijing was quick to deny these accusations, reaffirming its position to support dialogue between the two sides.
