(30 Nov 2018) Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday pledged his support for Ukraine in its escalating tensions with Russia. Speaking in Prague after talks with his Czech counterpart Andrej Babis, he said: "The Hungarian position is clear. We are a pro-Ukrainian government." But he complained that while Hungary's government was pro-Ukraine, the government in Ukraine was anti-Hungary. He was referring to a dispute over the rights of the ethnic Hungarian minority in Ukraine. Orban is also considered to have a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
