The Russian-Hungarian negotiations lasted longer than planned. Our party has prepared for this visit a number of documents relating to cooperation in various fields, including energy. Gas deal with Russia in Hungary just to expire in 2015.

When the leaders finally appeared before the cameras, then immediately said: talked – fruitfully. The contract, which was signed almost 20 years ago, the two sides eventually agreed to extend.

Budapest was the first who began to revise long-term gas deal with Russia after the rejection of the construction of the “South Stream”. The Russian leader said, we are ready to cooperate within the framework of “Turkish flow” and are open to suggestions for the further construction of the gas system.

“We are ready to build it to such an extent that the gas through Turkey could go to the European Union . In this case, we are not going to punish not any, anyone offended. If logistically possible, we are ready and then go to Bulgaria, we Today, the Commission has so requested. We are ready to go through Greece, that is, we are not going to close anything, themselves are not going to cut off from anyone, “- he said.

Russia to Hungary in general – largest trading partner outside the EU. Trade turnover between the two countries last year amounted to $ 8 billion. However, recently it has begun to decline. This is due to the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, which, by the way, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly criticized.

“We are confident that the isolation of Russia is impractical. It should be as soon as possible to establish relations between the European Union and Russia. And Hungary is making every effort to be found appropriate decisions, “- said Viktor Orban.

At the press conference, and we were talking about the situation in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin was asked how he evaluates the first few days after the entry into force of the Minsk agreements. Indeed, after the announcement of a truce Debaltseve city still remains the hot spot of Donbass.

“What’s going on there, it’s understandable and predictable, since, according to our data, before the meeting in Minsk, about a week, the group of Ukrainian troops got there in the environment. And at a meeting in Minsk, I was and talked about it. Those who are in the ring, will try to escape from the outside of the attempts are made to unlock, and the militia, which keeps the Ukrainian military units in this ring will to resist and hold on. I hope very much, that the responsible persons in the Ukrainian leadership will not interfere with the Ukrainian army soldiers lay down their arms if they are not able to take this important decision and give such an order, then in any case will not pursue people who want to save their lives and the lives of others, ready lay down their arms and with one hand. On the other hand rely on the fact that members of the militia, the management of the People’s Republic of Donetsk, Lugansk People’s Republic will not hold these individuals will not prevent them from freely then leave the conflict zone and a zone environment and return to their families, “- said Vladimir Putin.

According to the Russian President, to save the lives of those who are in Debaltsevskom boiler – it is now the most important thing. He reiterated that the situation in the south-east of Ukraine can only be resolved peacefully, and noted that in general after the announcement of the armistice military activity there decreased. Vladimir Putin was asked to make a prediction: how long? And asked what he thinks about the statement of the United States to begin deliveries of the so-called lethal weapons to Ukraine in case of escalation of the conflict.

“To our knowledge, this weapon is already available, and there is nothing unusual. Secondly, I deeply convinced that whoever and whatever weapons or supplied (to the conflict zone is always bad to supply weapons), but in this case, who would have a weapon or delivered, the number of victims could, of course, will increase, but the result will be the same as it is today. This is inevitable because of the overwhelming majority of members of the armed forces of Ukraine, in my opinion, has no desire to participate in a fratricidal war. And the militia Donbass have a great motivation to protect their families, “- said the president.

Immediately after the press conference Vladimir Putin went to the presidential palace – a meeting with Janos Ader. Hungarian President had received from the Russian invitation to come to Moscow in May – to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War.
