As previously reported by Ukrinform, Eurean Council President Charles Michel criticized Orbán for his self-declared ‘peace mission’ regarding Ukraine and reminded him that Hungary's presidency in the EU Council does not grant it any re in representing the Eurean Union on the international stage, nor has it received any mandate to conduct negotiations on behalf of the EU.
