(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 5 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani on Friday criticized Hungarian Prime Minister
Viktor Orban's decision to go to Moscow for talks with Russian
President Vladimir Putin days after his country took over the
duty presidency of the EU.
"He is going to Moscow as Hungarian prime minister (not as EU
duty president)," Tajani said on the sidelines of a press
conference for his Forza Italia party.
"I don't think it's the time to visit Russia, but everyone can
do what they want.
"The EU is favour of peace, but not in favour of surrendering to
Putin: it must be peace, not surrender.
"Putin's proposal (to end the war) is a sham.
"We welcome dialogue and discussions, but we will continue to
help Ukraine". (ANSA).
