He has said Hungary is NATO's valued ally, while Ukraine is "valued and important partner of NATO."
"And we have to remember that one of the main reasons why NATO has implemented the biggest adaptation of our collective defense and strengthen our collective defense is because of Russia's aggressive actions against Ukraine. So Ukraine is an important partner for NATO," he said.
