Hungary, a member of the European Union and NATO, has witnessed a rapprochement in its relations with Moscow in recent years under the government of Viktor Orban. Nevertheless, Orban on Thursday condemned the Russian military operation.

Earlier, Russia announced its willingness to hold a meeting with a Ukrainian delegation in Minsk but stipulated the Ukrainian army must lay down its arms before any negotiations. 

Lavrov said that Zelensky will be brought to the stage of negotiations after the Russian operation is completed, and as soon as the Ukrainian military lay down their arms.

For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made an appeal to Ukraine's troops, urging them to seize control and not allow "neo-Nazis and Banderovites" to exploit children, women, and the elderly as human shields.

Additionally, the Russian President told his Chinese counterpart earlier that Russia is ready to hold high-level negotiations with Ukraine.
