Russia's decision to attack Ukraine turned our world upside down – Hungarian president

President of Hungary Katalin Novak condemned "Russia's insane decision of attacking Ukraine" and emphasized the need to punish all those involved in war crimes in Ukraine.

Novak stated this in a speech at the summit of the Council of Europe in Reykjavík, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“There is a brutal war ranging on the continental Europe and the peaceful way of our living is under attack. Russia’s insane decision of attacking Ukraine - a direct neighbor to Hungary - turned our world upside down. Therefore, we need to take a unified and firm position. The armed attack and aggression against the sovereign state is unacceptable. War crimes must be investigated. War criminals need to face the might of the justice system,” she said.

The President of Hungary emphasized the need to achieve a "just peace" - "when all conditions of a just peace are met, conditions which permit not only a ceasefire, but also a real long-term peace, accompanied by reconciliation."

As reported by Ukrinform, at the summit of the Council of Europe in Reykjavik, 43 countries and the EU signed an agreement on the creation of a register of damage caused by the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
