BUDAPEST, December 20 (Sputnik) - In response to the proposal for a Christmas ceasefire, Ukraine has launched an ugly campaign against Hungary, but the Ukrainian people should judge President Volodymyr Zelensky for this, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.
"It is clear that... [Zelensky] has launched an ugly campaign against us in recent days, he constantly provokes us on the international arena. I think we cannot yield to this provocation," Szijjarto said on M1 television.
He said the responsibility for accepting or rejecting the proposal for a Christmas ceasefire now lies with the leaders of the countries that have received it, and they "will have to report to their voters."
"Hungary did what it could do as a neighboring Christian country: it created an opportunity for a ceasefire, and this proposal is on the table... and what [Zelensky] says about this will be judged by the Ukrainian people," the minister said.

The Russian leader also said Kiev must abandon its plans to join NATO, it must carry out demilitarization and denazification, and also adopt a neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status. Putin also mentioned in this context the lifting of sanctions against Russia.
