Mr. Magyar described the recent phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "huge breakthrough," because "the two leaders have shared ideas regarding the path to peace." He emphasized that Hungary has long advocated for such negotiations, but this was not possible under the previous U.S. administration. Now, he said, there is every reason to hope that peace is "within arm’s reach."
