President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, commenting on the visit of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to Ukraine, the Russian Federation, China and the United States for "peacekeeping purposes," said that not all leaders can negotiate, because for this you need to have "some strength."

"Orban was in Kyiv. I did not know that he would go to Putin or then to China. And you said now [Zelenskyy in an address to a journalist] to Trump. Yes. So what's the question? Where will he go tomorrow? I don't know. Perhaps he will come to Ukraine again. I do not know," Zelenskyy said at a press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Washington.

The Head of the Ukrainian State stressed that "with all due respect to all countries, big and small, but we must understand that not all leaders, not all leaders can negotiate." "To do this, you need to have some strength," Zelenskyy said.
