Nauséda on Orban’s visit to Moscow: Undermines credibility of Hungarian presidency of EU Council
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda commented on Hungarian leader Viktor Orban's trip to Moscow.
According to Censor.NET, this is stated in Nausėda's Twitter post.
"Viktor Orban's unilateral decision to go to Moscow does not reflect the EU's position in any way. It also undermines the credibility of the Hungarian presidency. If you really want peace, you don't shake hands with a bloody dictator, you make every effort to support Ukraine," the Lithuanian president wrote.
