Listening the joint news conference of Putin and Orbán.

They had a chat before about 5-6 hours. They touched quite a lot of topics.
Energy - gas import (raise the yearly amount, the deal is till 2036), expansion of Paks NPP (reaching self-sufficiency in electricity, also climate neutrality), oil extraction (Hungarian companies working in Russia, Orenburg region, not sure about the parameters);
Logistical improvements - joint enterprise to develop railroad and a container terminal at the Ukrainan-Hungarian border (mostly but not exclusively about the export of Hungarian agricultural products), moar passanger airplanes from Russia (also direct flights from Yekaterinburg and Kaliningrad);
Vaccine - we're gonna build a vaccine factory for several types of vaccines, and will be capable of production of sputnik too;

Ukraine - Russia wants guarantees from NATO; Orbán said their is a wide divide between Russian and NATO views but it can be bridged over. Putin said promises were made they did not deliver, NATO installed rocket launching facilities and whatnot all over the place, then supports Ukraine, but Ukraine wants to take Crimea back with force, will NATO support that?; Minsk treaty etc etc.

Orbán said in the beginning he went as kind of an ambassador of peace in hope that aforementioned bridge can be built. To be honest this is really a stretch since he has no authority to do anything or promise anything. It showed in his response he gave to the question of the Russian journo about Ukraine.
