Hungarian PM calls for EU envoy to negotiate on Ukraine war
During a visit to Germany, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar urged the EU to appoint a special representative to help settle the war between Ukraine and Russia.
He said the war, which he described as having lasted more than four years, is among the most important issues facing European countries.
Magyar said the representative should negotiate on behalf of the European Union and have a seat at the negotiating table.
He said the EU is divided and lacks a single figure to speak for all member states on foreign policy.
The proposal matters because it would give the EU a designated voice in negotiations over the war.
No appointment or next step was announced in his remarks.
