BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary has offered to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine twice, and the offer still stands, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in a podcast broadcast on Facebook on Thursday.

Szijjarto reacted to reports that the White House was eyeing the Hungarian capital Budapest as a venue for a possible trilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
