The Hungarian side did not discuss anything with Ukraine, and did not warn about its contacts with Moscow, presidential adviser on communications Dmytro Lytvyn said.

"As always, the Hungarian side did not discuss anything with Ukraine. As always, the Hungarian side did not warn about its contacts with Moscow. As always, Ukraine did not authorize Hungary to do anything," Lytvyn commented to journalists on the words of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that Ukraine allegedly refused the Christmas ceasefire.

According to the presidential adviser, as always, Ukraine is working on a daily basis to free prisoners, and "relevant contacts regarding a significant exchange by the end of the year have been ongoing for two weeks now."

In addition, Ukraine is committed to a full-fledged peace and is doing everything in coordination with partners to achieve this, "together with America, Europe, and other partners in the world." "As always, we need not PR, but a fair peace, and not chatter, but reliable security guarantees," Lytvyn said.

As reported, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban responded to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's comment on Orban's phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 11, and announced his initiative for a "Christmas ceasefire."
