Zelenskyy Rejects Orban's Ceasefire Proposal

During talks in Washington, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba emphasized to Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto that peace initiatives for the conflict with Russia must not be based on Russian narratives, rejecting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ceasefire proposal. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended the NATO summit in Washington, seeking continued support against Russia amidst fresh Russian missile attacks. Zelenskyy also met with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to discuss further NATO support and bilateral security cooperation. Poland and Moldova are exploring ways to bolster Ukraine's electricity security in response to Russian attacks on power facilities. Zelenskyy stated that only powerful nations like the U.S., China, or the EU could mediate the conflict, dismissing Orban's mediation efforts. Kyiv plans to hold a second international summit, inviting broader international participation to discuss its peace proposals.
