00:00Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called for direct peace talks between
00:06Russia and the EU on the war in Ukraine, so Europe would avoid being sidelined in shaping its own security.
00:12However, he said the meeting should not be led by European institution leaders,
00:16instead by French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Metz.
00:21Orban, a strong EU critic, said the bloc had fallen asleep and avoided direct talks with the Kremlin.
00:27The Hungarian leader said the summit should be held as soon as possible in a neutral country to ensure a dialogue.
00:50Brussels and Budapest have long been at odds of a range of issues, including Russia's war on Ukraine.
