Orban about negotiations with Putin:

Orban about negotiations with Putin: “(…) [What do you say to those critics who say that Orbán is a friend of Putin?]. Yes, they say that I am a friend of Putin. But I am also a friend of the Hungarians, and I am also a friend peace, which is very important. I am a friend of peace and the reason why I am negotiating with Putin is because I am looking for the shortest and fastest way to stop this war and create peace. [What impression did you have of Putin?] All negotiations with him were always in a good mood - this is the first thing. Secondly, he is more than 100% rational. When he negotiates, when he begins to explain the essence, when he makes an offer, saying yes or no, he is super, super rational. How else can you say it in Hungarian? Cool, reserved, careful and punctual. He has developed discipline. So it is a real challenge to negotiate with him and be prepared to match his intellectual and political level. Source: Russian Head
