The solutions that Europe is trying to find in order to resolve the crisis in Ukraine are not working, and the conflict could only be ended through a ceasefire, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in an interview for the SVT TV channel, reported from TASS.

"The first goal is to stop killing people, which means a ceasefire agreement and nothing more," he said.

According to Szijjarto, EU sanctions failed to stop the conflict.

"We have already introduced 10 sanctions packages; has it brought us any closer to a resolution [of the conflict]? No. Has it brought Russia to its knees? No. Has it hurt us? Yes. I think that the 'solutions' that we have been trying to find in Europe simply didn't work, because we've got too carried away with the war mentality," he noted.
