Putin praises Viktor Orban's Ukraine stance as the two meet in Moscow - DW News
Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for what he called a "balanced position" on the Ukraine.
The two leaders met in Moscow -- Orban's second trip to Russia since last year. The Hungarian leader vowed Russia will remain a key energy supplier for his country, despite US and EU sanctions on Russian fossil fuels. Orban is seen as Putin's closest partner among all European Union leaders. He has consistently tried to block tougher sanctions against Moscow at the EU-level, and has criticized aid to Ukraine.
