"Hungary condemns Russia’s military aggression and fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders," the document states.
It also emphasises that Hungary recognises its eastern neighbour’s right to self-defence.

Budapest supports all efforts that will lead to negotiations on a "lasting peace and long-term security guarantees" for Ukraine, the document states.
