Russian President Vladimir Putin added to the tension in the Korean Peninsula, which he described as 'smoldering,' by saying Russia would be prepared to supply new weapons to North Korea and warning South Korea from arming Ukraine.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán traveled to Moscow for talks with President Vladimir Putin on Friday, in rare visit by a European leader since Russian forces invaded Ukraine more than two years ago. Orbán’s visit comes only days after he made a similar unannounced trip to Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and proposed that his country should consider agreeing to an immediate cease-fire with Russia.
“I hope we will have an opportunity to exchange views on building bilateral relations in this difficult situation and, of course, to talk about the prospects for the development of the biggest European crisis, I mean in the Ukrainian direction,” Putin told the Hungarian prime minister. At the beginning of the month, Hungary took over the six-month rotating presidency of the E.U. Council, a largely formal role that can be used to shape the bloc’s policy agenda.
